Security Levels

Security level Characteristics
Main security levels
Low Security
  • Perimeter is defined but usually there are no walls or fences.
  • Restrictions on movement, association and privileges are minimal.
  • Inmates are non-magical and or otherwise pose very limited risk to the safety of the community. Many are on work-release programs that allow them to hold jobs during the day.
Mid Security
  • Usually surrounded by chain-link fences topped with razor wire or magical wards. Magical arms are present but not normally deployed within the perimeter.
  • Wards which dampen any magical ability and suppresses the effectiveness of power, spells, or incantation should they be cast inside; detention officers unaffected.
  • Inmates are expected to act responsibly under regular and often direct supervision and participate in their correctional program plans.
  • Many of these institutions have training centers and a variety of educational and treatment facilities.
High Security
  • High-security facilities are surrounded by high walls or fences with guard towers in strategic positions and magical wards that ensure any movement within the perimeter is detected.
  • Multiple barriers which further dampen any magical ability and suppresses the effectiveness of power, spells, or incantation should they be cast inside rendering them useless even to detention officers.
  • Inmates issued metal collar which cannot be removed and will issue a disabling or even fatal electric shock should they try to remove it or escape.
  • Detention officers with magical arms and there are additional locked caches of magical arms amn other weapons within the institutions in the event of a serious disturbance.
  • Various parts of the facility are separated by locked gates, fences and walls, wards, and spells. Inmate movement, association and privileges are strictly controlled because inmates pose a serious risk to staff, other offenders and the community.
  • Some inmates live in segregation units, due either to behavioral problems or out of concern that they will be harmed by other inmates, usually as a result of their crimes. Typically those that are inflicted with Hoka Fever or malicious contracts
