Saint Antoine Prison, formerly known as Dehrveidracht Gefängnis under Fascist Calderan rule, is a maximum security prison on Abher island located roughly 2.1 kilometers (1.25 miles) off the coast of the Western province, Caldera. The island was previously used as a quarantine port housing possibly infected ships to prevent diseases spreading from the mainland. The Volkspartei converted the island into a supermax prison in 1944, during which it was notorious for horrible living conditions. Notably, prisoners had no contact with the outside world, and there was very little food shipped to the island, so most prisoners were malnourished. Even though the prison has undergone drastic reforms, an average of 5 people die every day at the prison, from reasons ranging from natural occurrences to suicides and gang violence.

After the Volkspartei lost control of the position of Prime Leader and similarly lost control of most governmental positions, control of Dehrveidracht prison was assumed by the new government of Caldera, which immediately began reforming the prison. New external additions included an outdoor theater, prisoner ran farming field, flower garden, forestry, fruit orchard, and vegetable allotment, while internal additions included an expanded infirmary, two visitation areas (Maximum and Medium securities), an expanded kitchen and canteen, a chapel, a library, a mail room (for prisoners to send and receive mail), and two prisoner run businesses in the forms of a bakery and a restaurant which sell food to visitors. A small peninsula of the island was also filled in to create a man-made island only accessible by ferry, on which a house for a single protective custody prisoner was built with a barbed wire fenced yard and small shed for visitation. In October 2034, this house was occupied by Harrison Ward, who was sentenced to 169 years in prison for 5 counts of 1st degree premeditated murder, 2 counts of armed robbery, and 1 count of grievous bodily harm. Ward was sent to the island on September 3rd, 2034, after the first occupant, Tobias Ripper, had successfully paroled and left the prison.

History

Selection

After the end of the Second Great War, the Volkspartei began searching for a location to construct the most secure prison possible to house prisoners of war and political prisoners. Some candidates included Seuber island, the center of Caldera's caldera, and Bass island. The Volkspartei concluded that an island off the coast of the mainland would be harder to escape from, so Bass island and other inland locations were discarded, Seuber island was heavily considered, but was ultimately dropped in favor of Abher island after it was discovered that a real estate company was considering constructing a hotel on Seuber island due to its proximity to Little Caldera.

Abher island was a small uninhabited island with only a few species of non-hostile animals, making it a prime location for a supermax prison, especially because the nearest town was 8 kilometers away. (The nearby Abher town would not found until 1970, 26 years after Dehrveidracht opened)

Early History

Construction began on July 10th, 1944, and only took 42 days thanks to very low requirements. The entire prison was built with a budget of $200,000, and only included a reception area, cell block, showers, small kitchen and canteen, and a small yard monitored at all times by snipers. Guards writing from here around this time would detail how awful they believed the conditions to be, and it was estimated that if a prisoner was sent to the prison, they would die within 2 months to a variety of possible causes. The poor conditions of the prison resulted in the guards attempting to sue the warden for prisoner neglect. In early January 1945, the first warden, Jakob Linler, was convicted of prisoner neglect and promptly sentenced to 5 years in Dehrveidracht. Anthony Rachs took over as the second warden on January 20th, 1945, and immediately ordered the construction of cleaning facilities, most notably a laundry room. Rachs also constructed several other rooms meant to increase the overall quality of life, most notably an infirmary, shop, and workshop. Rachs also opened a new death row cell block and ordered the construction of rooms for parole, allowing Jakob Linler to be the first ever prisoner to be paroled from Dehrveidracht.

On the prison's first anniversary on August 21st, 1945, the Volkspartei made a public announcement how the new prison has done wonders to stop crime, and that the new prison shall be a shining example across Caldera why citizens should obey laws to the letter.

Living Victims

After various prisoners were sent to Dehrveidracht by the Volkspartei for simply opposing them, a gang formed in the prison known as the Living Victims. The gang had the goal to take control of the prison and declare the island independent from Fascist Caldera, so on the night of December 2nd, 1945, the gang rushed the reception room and took hold of guard's batons, and began fighting off guards to make their way to the warden's office, where they pressured Rachs into writing a letter that the prison belonged to the gang now. The occupation continued for 8 hours, until officers from the Ober Police Department arrived on Abher island and threatened the gang to return to their cells or face lethal gunfire. After the event, the Volkspartei ordered the prison to allow guards to carry firearms, and so warden Rachs constructed a new building on the island (the first building to not be connected to the main prison in some form) to house an expansive guard armory. Many more guards were hired, and began to crack down on prisoners harshly.

Blizzard of 1954

In 1954, the prison was hit with an incredibly harsh blizzard which froze all water within the prison and also froze the majority of prisoner's cells shut due to an insulation error with how reception was built. 24 people died of hypothermia, and 2 people died by slipping on ice. This caused the construction of a thicker front entrance as well as the application of insulation on all water pipes within the prison. The event was the deadliest natural disaster in the prison's history, and remains to be a reminder how disastrous consequences can be for the unprepared. Since this event, all workers have also been trained how to handle natural disasters.

Abher Town

Due to high costs to operate the prison, as well as long commutes for staff, a town was authorized to be built just at the bank of Caldera's mainland with a direct path to Abher island. Planning for the town began in December 1969, and the first family moved in in June 1970. The town was named Abher, after the island that Dehrveidracht was on, and it became a hub of business in order to support the island. Farms started growing near the town as well as clothes manufacturers and lumberyards, by the year 1980, the town was able to supply everything that Dehrveidracht needed to run except for electricity. The accelerated growth of Abher town is sometimes pointed to by historians as to how long it would take any part of a country to become fully self sufficient if it was entirely cut off from the rest of the world. The Abher Police Department was mostly made up of former guards from Dehrveidracht who wanted to leave the harsh job but continue living in the tightly knit community.

Saint Antoine Reformation

After the Volkspartei lost control of the prison, Prime Leader LeMieux spearheaded the reformation of the once infamous prison into one of rehabilitation. One way to reflect this change was renaming the prison from Dehrveidracht to more neutral "Saint Antoine", named after a Christian monk named Antoine. Le Mieux completely expanded and re framed many parts of the prison in order to turn it into a rehabilitation paradise. However, this decision did not come at no cost. Prior to the Saint Antoine Reformation, there had only been 1 serious escape attempt, but afterwards, there were 3 more.

Escape Attempts

Denny Mathews was an 80 year old (43 at time of attempted escape) male inmate at Dehrveidracht prison from 1962 until 2000, when he died in prison. He was sentenced to 65 years in prison for one count of 1st degree murder, 1 count of attempted murder, and 2 counts of aggravated assault. On April 27th, 1963, Mathews placed a toothpick in the lock of his cell door to prevent it from locking shut. At night, while everyone was supposed to be sleeping, Matthews snuck out of his cell and made his way to reception, but encountered a locked door. He tried to open it vociferously, but a guard heard him and took him back to his cell. It's predicted that if the reception door was unlocked, he could have potentially escaped.

Christoff Rolsen was a 36 year old male inmate at Saint Antoine prison from 2028 until 2034, when he died during an escape attempt. He was sentenced to 55 years in prison for 2 counts of 3rd degree murder, 1 count of torture, and 1 count of false imprisonment. On August 10th, 2034, after the hedge maze was built in the reformed prison, Rolsen climbed the hedge and made it out of the prison. His escape attempt was spotted by snipers and CCTV cameras, but he dove into the water too fast for snipers to fire. When other guards made it to the scene, Rolsen drowned himself.

Burt Weitkins is a 25 year old male inmate at Saint Antoine prison who was sentenced there in 2026. He was sentenced to 199 years in prison for 7 counts of 1st degree premeditated murder, 1 count of aggravated assault, 1 count of violent disorder, and 1 count of grievous bodily harm. On October 7th, 2034, Weikins managed to steal a staff uniform from the laundry room, and put it on in a closet. He then used the uniform to get a guard to open a door to the delivery bay, but a cook noticed Weikins and told the guard that he was not a staff member. Weikins went back to his cell peacefully.

Jorg Quarsen is a 26 year old prisoner who was sentenced to Dehrveidracht prison in 2025. He was sentenced to 41 years in prison for 1 count of 3rd degree murder and 2 counts of violent disorder. On July 22nd, 2034, Quarsen became the only successful escapee from Saint Antoine prison in the prison's history, and his escape attempt was not known until the morning of July 23rd. During visiting hours, Quarsen made his way into the medium security visitation room, where him and his family sat underneath the sole camera in the room. With 2 guards stationed at the prisoner entrance and exit, no guards were stationed within the room, which enabled Quarsen's family to give Quarsen civilian clothes which he was able to put on out of the camera's sight. His family then got up with Quarsen following, and they acted like Quarsen was a fellow family visitor. Walking past visitor reception was no issue as the stationed guard didn't notice anything wrong, and the visitor boat took the family and Quarsen back to shore. The guards stationed near the visitation room during Quarsen's escape were reprimanded for not noticing a prisoner going in and never leaving. Quarsen was later arrested at his house by the BCA on July 27th, and he was sent to Jakeib prison.

Administration

Initially after opening, the prison had a measly staff count of 21, including warden Jakob Linler, 2 cooks, 10 guards, and 8 maintenance workers. This small amount quickly turned out to be too little, and the amount of guards was increased to 25. After the attack of the Living Victims in 1945, 20 specially trained armed guards were hired, as well as 3 snipers.

A new guard arriving in 1946 would be paid $3,000 per year, while a new staff member in the same year would be paid $1,750 per year. Guards typically worked 5 8-hour shifts during the week and were able to select 2 days of the week to permanently take off. Guards working 12 hour shifts would be given a 10% bonus, and guards working 24 hour shifts would get a 100% bonus. If an emergency happened and guards were called to the prison on their day off, they would be paid triple for the day. Guards did not have the option to eat at the prison, but after 1971, food boats coming from Abher town would often provide guards with hot freshly made homemade food for a price somewhere from free to $2. In 1975, the warden tried to claim this was a security risk, but concerns were dismissed when the food boats agreed to only go to the front of the prison and would never pick up passengers unless they were known to be guards at the prison and were related by blood to the boat driver. After the Saint Antoine reformation, guards are now allowed to purchase meals at the prison for $1.25.

The main administration center for the building was the very front, to the left of the entrance. Initially, the administrative buildings were connected to the main building but their entrances were outside, but after the blizzard of 1954, hallways were built to cover the full entrance of the prison, so no entrances were exposed and one must enter the prison and head left to enter the administration wing. The administration wing now has 8 offices, one for a warden, lieutenant warden, captain of guards, foreman, psychologist, accountant, lawyer, and psychiatrist. The administration wing also leads to the training room, where staff are trained in various ways. All visits to Dehrveidracht required written consent from the warden, but after the Saint Antoine reformation, any administrative member can give written consent, of whom the psychiatrist gives the most of, with over 700 visits per week authorized by the psychiatrist, who handles almost all family and program related requests.

Before the construction of the prison, there was once a makeshift hospital tent on Abher island for sick quarantined sailors, but the tent had not been manned since 1870 with only a short period of Daxian soldiers using the tent and its surroundings as an emergency port during the SGW. Once the prison started construction, all evidence of a camp was removed. The main prison hospital is located deep within the building, past Cell Blocks A and B, while an exclusive staff hospital is located to the right of the entrance past a staff only corridor. People working at the infirmaries were either doctors who had explicitly applied to work at the prison, or they were CAF field medics who were assigned to Saint Antoine. When there wasn't a staff only infirmary from 1944 until 1954, most doctors working at the prison would quit due to intimidation from violent inmates.

Security

With 56 guards and a captain of guards, Saint Antoine prison has the lowest guard to inmate ratio of any prison in Caldera (1:1 as of 2034). Guards patrol outside cells at all times, even during the night and during work hours, armed guards are always positioned at all entrances at all times, and guard dogs are constantly sniffing for contraband. Saint Antoine prison has 4 entrances, a main entrance, visitor entrance, guard entrance, and emergency entrance. The least guarded entrance is the visitor entrance, which only has 2 guards posted at all times, 2 nearby guards on immediate call, and a security room bordering it. The main entrance has 2 armed guards patrolling it at all times with guards on call in nearby rooms, the guard entrance is a set of 2 solid steel doors with 2 armed guards positioned in a 25 foot high barbed wire fenced area in between the two doors, and the emergency entrance is located past a security room, where guards are bound to be around in some form all the time. Guards working the more tedious patrol routes describe their work as being a waste of time, especially in Death Row, where there are 4 stationed armed guards and 2 stationed normal guards watching 2 people who typically aren't allowed to leave their cells. The two snipers are the main deterrent for the yard, which has 10 foot high easily climbable barbed wire fences, but prisoners don't climb them due to the vast number of guard patrols around the fences and the likelihood of being seen by CCTV (even if they were able to get over without being seen by a guard or sniper). During sporadic points in the day, guards check the beaches of the island for prisoners, allowing guards to spot any footsteps in the sand in case a prisoner did somehow escape.

No prisoner cells are along walls so prisoners can't chip their way out of prison, and a vast sewer system is underneath the prison to encourage prisoners to break into it (either accidentally or on purpose) while trying to tunnel their way out, and once in the sewer system, sensitive pressure plates alert guards to an unknown presence in the sewers for them to investigate. The sewer system is also exclusive to the island, with no tunnels exiting the island, only circling throughout the prison.

At the end of every week, guards search everything in the prison for contraband, including every prisoner's cell and every staff room that exists. Earlier in Saint Antoine's life, silverware was carefully laid out and counted after every meal in the canteen to ensure none had been taken as weapons, but this practice slowly phased out as it was decided that the new plastic silverware is not capable of seriously hurting anybody. Metal detectors are also located at the entrance of the yard and the entrance of the workshop to stop smugglers in their tracks. An extensive vent system exists throughout the prison to distribute tear gas to certain rooms at the command of the captain of guards. This has only been used a few times in gang riots.

Wardens

Image	Name	Term	Summary
	Jakob Linler	1944-1945	Widely regarded as the worst warden, this is especially demonstrated in the fact that guards pressed charges against him for prisoner neglect. He was also the first inmate at Dehrveidracht to be paroled on August 20th, 1945.
	Anthony Rachs	1945-1970	The longest serving warden of any prison in Caldera, Rachs was also the most liked, as he was the most pro-reform warden and he maintained a healthy relationship with inmates to ensure the quality of life wasn't too low. After the Living Victims attack in 1954, he became a little bit more ruthless and on one occasion even beat a prisoner, but he was still popular and widely missed when he retired in 1970.
	Jager Silverstein	1970-1978	Notoriously tolerated gangs to a high degree, but the captain of guards was able to handle most serious issues. Once tried to explicitly give a gang leader a nicer cell than other inmates, but the captain of guards revoked the order.
	Peter Jupe	1978-1990	Nicknamed "baseball" because he often wore baseball memorabilia, Peter was described as being strict but fair during his 12 years as warden. He notably negotiated the relocation of guard food boats due to security concerns.
	Victoire Boume	1990-1998	Boume was notorious for being armed at all times, carrying an Tauk Modell P during the day and carrying a Tauk Winzig at night. Boume also tried to push to equip guards with better weapons, but he ultimately failed.
	John Steiner	1998-2004	A famous CAF leader, Steiner wore his uniform in the prison and had guards wear military outfits as well, as well as training guards in military tactics and treating all prisoners like POWs. He would often have guards fire guns as a form of intimidation, which led to the death of 3 people. He did not consider prisoner deaths to be a negative thing, and even looked to the Volkspartei to prevent his removal from power when the governor of the western province fired him.
	Peter Higgens	2004-2018	A former doctor, Higgens' number one priority at the prison was prisoner health. Often enlisting doctors to come up with new experimental treatments, Higgens eventually retired after 12 years because of the 3 inmates he had let die in prison hospitals during his tenure.
	Kalevi Simbi	2018-2030	One of the most respected wardens, Kalevi sought to know every prisoner individually and hold funerals for everyone that dies, which was quite frequent. Prisoners described him as the most good-hearted warden of all time.
	Thunder West	2030-Present	Thunder West was appointed warden by the Volkspartei for his experience and all business attitude. It's for this same reason that Prime Leader LeMieux maintained the appointment.

Prison life

Prisoners are awaken at 7:00 AM and taken to a mass public shower, where guards prevent prisoners from leaving until 8:00 AM, for breakfast. Breakfast would last 2 hours in the canteen, and is exclusive to medium security. Maximum security prisoners are forced to return to their cells after showering, and are served breakfast in their cells. Medium security prisoners are allowed to freely roam the prison during breakfast, but all prisoners must report for work at 10:00 AM. Work lasts until 4:00 PM, when prisoners have an hour of free time before being funneled into the yard for an hour before everyone is round up and pushed to the showers at 7:00 PM. Dinner is served at 8:00 PM, and like breakfast, it lasts two hours, but unlike breakfast, prisoners are not permitted to roam the prison after finishing, and are instead taken to their cell. A roll call is performed at 10:00 PM, and prisoners that miss it are heavily reprimanded. Prior to the 2034 reformation, prisoners had virtually no activities to do for fun, and the ban on visitation drove some inmates mad.

Protective custody has a much more lenient regime than the average prisoner, but it has some negative aspects as well. Protective custody prisoners wake up at 5 AM to breakfast, which lasts for an hour and they are allowed to do anything afterwards. After breakfast comes free time which lasts until 11:00 AM. An hour was then taken for lunch. Free time continued until 6 PM, when an hour is taken for dinner. Protective custody prisoners are then allowed to do anything for the rest of the day, but they must not be outside of their house after 10:00 PM. Despite the 13 hours of free time, protective custody prisoners often found themselves lonely, as they were banned from visiting the rest of the prison, which included any form of job they may have had while a regular prisoner. Protective custody prisoners could request visitation from family, and family could visit for up to 3 hours, which is different from the rest of the prison where visitation only lasts up to an hour. Whereas regular prisoners may only visit their family in the visitation room (maximum security prisoners are even banned from completely in person contact), protective custody prisoners are allowed to bring their family into their house, as long as the guards stationed outside of the protective custody yard are aware. If protective custody prisoners refuse to let their family leave after 3 hours, or otherwise hurts their family, a squad of 4 heavily armed guards with C19 rifles are on call to report to the house similar to a hostage situation.

Death Row inmates also have different regimes from other security levels, but rather than being incredibly lenient, Death Row inmates were banned from leaving their cell block which only consisted of their cell, the execution room, and a yard (after 2034).

Overall prison life highly improved after the Saint Antoine reformation, afterwards, prisoners now had access to books, mail, religion, visitation, farming, and other forms of entertainment. The most commonly cited part of the modern Saint Antoine prison is the quality of prison cells, which has not been improved since its creation, and still only consists of a metal bed with a covering, a pillow, and a toilet. No plans have been made by prison administrators to improve upon the prison cells.

Construction and layout

Saint Antoine prison is only 1 floor, and always has been. It was never designed to have another floor out of safety concerns, primarily over dropping things from a height on other people. The prison has maintained this philosophy for aesthetic purposes as well, presently, the prison is not visible through the thick brush of the island, but if it was any taller, it would be much more visible.

The prison's main entrance was built around block A, which is the first cell block you see one passing reception. Directly on front of block A is the canteen, going right will bring you to a yard, while going left will bring you to a section of the prison that is divided into solitary confinement on your right, more cells to your left, and the workshop ahead of you. Going to your left will bring you to cell block B, with cell block C to the right of that. Past the cell block is an infirmary positioned in the middle of the walkway. Past the walkway resides a common room, meeting room, and gang tattoo removal room. To the right of those are a classroom and parole rooms. At the end of the hall, one may find another classroom and the high security Death Row. Making your way back up past the solitary confinement will bring you to recent additions to the prison, including visitation areas, a chapel, library, and mail room.

Below is a list of rooms under the event that coincided with their construction.

Rooms	Details
Original Construction
Canteen	The first canteen fit 2 tables and 4 benches, able to seat about 16 prisoners in this configuration.
Cell Block A	The first set of cells, comprising of 14. Each cell is 2 by 3 meters big and is equipped with a bed and a toilet.
Cell Block B	The second set of cells, comprising of 16. Each cell is identical to ones in Cell Block A.

The house is also incredibly furnished and decorated with all the possible wants of a prisoner, including but not limited to: an arcade machine, weights bench, birdcage, bookshelf, television, radio, punching bag, and 2 personal phone booths. The island also has 2 other amenities, fenced off yard connected to the front of the house, and a separate building dedicated to visitation.
Restaurant	A prisoner run restaurant for visitors to have a meal in the prison.
Security rooms	2 rooms dedicated exclusively for security were opened from the southernmost portion of the visitation wing to the northernmost portion of the prison. The southern security room also featured a dedicated staff room and kennel for guard dogs.
Visitation (Max.)	Maximum security visitation is a closed off room with a set of visitation booths preventing prisoners and visitors from interacting outside of talking. Posted cameras monitor all actions.
Visitation (Med.)	Medium security visitation is much more open but also forces prisoners to be frisked while entering and leaving. In the room, there is only 1 camera and 1 guard to monitor visitors and prisoners who are able to do anything from hugging and kissing to just holding hands.
