Esmeraldas Prison
Esmeraldas Prison, the largest prison in New Angeles, houses inmates from all over the city. In addition to the usual facilities, it contains an on-site hospital and a baseball field. To maximize security and assuage local residents’ fears about a breakout, the prison was built on a small peninsula jutting out from the Streets’ northwestern corner into the Pacific. To further protect against breakouts, the prison relies on security measures both traditional (armed guards, camdrones, and electrified fences) and inventive (the waters off the prison are infested with sharkbots, and the prison is built atop a thin layer of nanomesh that can detect any digging attempts).
The western wing contains high-risk inmates, who get any cyberlimbs (or other potentially dangerous cybernetics) removed and replaced with crude prosthetics reminiscent of those from the early twenty-first century. These inmates are forced to take a cocktail of meds that causes their body to reject any g-mods they may be hiding. The east wing is for runners, who stay in cells fitted with old-fashioned iron bars and manual locks. No inmates are granted Net access without special dispensation. The human guards carry Synap pistols on the grounds, but the prison also keeps an armory of lethal weaponry and riot-suppression gear.
