Description
Elysium is the premier state penitentiary of Nexus City. Ironically earning its name because of a failed settlement, Elysium is a towering structure that accommodates correctional needs across all security levels. Split into male and female wings, Elysium has an expansive scope and administrative pipeline that creates measured expectations for baseline efficiency.
Elysium Layout:
Designed as a multi-level facility, Elysium has a complex system of security measures in place to ensure that all necessary precautions are being taken to contain inmates. At each security checkpoint is biometric scanning along with fingerprint verification. Elevators at the end of corridors operate on voice recognition that is logged with the date and time of use. Patrols are done via drones that monitor movement for anomalies and confirm authorized personnel. Furthermore, camera footage between cell blocks is routed to the central control tower for review by the warden. Beyond containment procedures, inmates are allowed access to an outdoor recreation area, indoor training room, and hypnotherapy room within their allotted time for leisure.
The typical cell at Elysium is labeled with an electronic board displaying mugshots and prisoner information. A green light besides it indicates vacant status whereas a red one indicates occupancy. After the proper code is entered in on the larger control panel keypad beside the cell, a metallic door slides open revealing a 6 by 8-foot carbon fiber space where prisoners can call home. Inside the cell are automated functions that place emphasis on minimalism. A large rectangular slot on the right unfolds to reveal a flat bed slab for inmates to sleep on. Tucked away in the opposite corner is a toilet and sink combination that rotates out from the wall behind it.
In place of a window opposite the cell door is a screen porthole that simulates outside environments to put inmates at ease and relax their mood. Interactivity with the screen is limited, but it nevertheless greets users with the phrase “Welcome to the Elysium Inmate Assistance Board.” Overhead AI directive radiating from the cylindrical center space syncs with in-cell technology to detail prisoner itinerary and controls internal conditions such as temperature, airflow, and lighting. Highly reactive, this AI is programmed to uphold the rules of the prison and force compliance if necessary. Lastly, as a matter of staying on schedule, food and equipment will open into hatch compartments that integrate with the prison’s conduit system. Reducing the need for guard presence during rest periods where rotations are made, flashing lights signal when a prisoner is expected to take immediate action. It goes without saying that deliveries require some type of exchange of trash or previously worn uniform for cleaning/disposal.

Hi everyone! If you're new to my account I encourage you to check out not only my first OC that I set up in my previous post but also the associated lore of this world that I'm slowly building. Thanks, and again would love to hear some feedback as I continue to progress.
