History
Creeperian Civil War Era
During the Creeperian Civil War, the Imperial Council was in need of a prisoner-of-war camp to hold their National Council POW’s. Construction started in 1935 in Tuxtla Martínez, Zapatista, for a new POW camp.
The camp was finished in 1936 and had an initial capacity of 200 inmates. However, the prison became severely overpopulated, coming to hold over 3,000 POW’s. Prisoners were commonly found dead from starvation, dehydration, exhaustion, suicide, or were even murdered by prison guards. It was notorious nationwide for its awful living conditions and prisoner neglect.
By the end of the war, an estimated 7,400 prisoners died in the prison; around half were murdered intentionally and a quarter were suicides.
Pre-Mara War
Following the end of the civil war, the camp was used to hold Senvarian POW’s during the Third Senvarian Insurgency. In 1956, a surge of Salvadorans entered the prison as a result of the Salvadoran Revolution.
Early Mara War
Following the outbreak of war with the gang Mara Salvatrucha, the prison population was surged with gang members, as it remains today.
Alexander II’s Reign
Throughout the reign of Alexander II, the population exploded to 9,803 inmates, well over capacity. No prisoner has ever successfully escaped and no prisoner has ever been released or transferred.
