Stone Mountain Correctional Center

Stone Mountain Correctional Center (SMCC) is the nation's first prison specifically designed to house metahuman/super powered criminals. Located in the hills of  North Dakota, the 250 bed facility is equipped with a state of the art security system, designed to enhance the safety of staff members, and neutralize the special abilities of inmates housed within the facility.

The main facility is located below ground level, with staff and support operations located above ground. SMCC is powered by a small, heavily shielded nuclear reactor, it also maintains an independent water supply, filtered air system, and capable of self sufficient operations for up to 72 hrs. 

Future plans for the facility include, an expansion on the medium and maximum security wings; the addition of upgraded automated defense system, including the use of several prototype security drones, psychic dampeners, and if reports are to be believed, the use of mystic wards.

Security Staff

SMCC Standard Tactical Uniform



STATS:

Level: 1-3 depending on length of time in service.

S: 13, E: 13, A: 12, I: 10, C: 10

The facility is staffed by volunteer personnel from the Federal Bureau of Prisons. In addition to their standard training academy, all security staff members undergo an additional six weeks of specialized training at their own "in house" training facility. The training course includes use of military weapons, such as light machineguns, grenade launchers, and anti-tank weapons, extensive medical training, as well as unarmed combat and defensive techniques.

SMCC's security staff also maintains well trained, and equipped, Containment and Emergency Response Team (CERT), which is ready to respond to any security incident that may arise, such as a forced cell extraction, riot, attempted escape, or hostage situation. CERT personnel have access to the newly developed "Striker" Battle Armor, which enhances the wearers strength, and provides protection from hostile environments.

4. Heightened Senses: Helmet comm system w/a 5 mile range; IR visor visor w/image enhancing system. 3x detect hidden, 1/2 penalties for darkness.

The facility's physical plant is laid out as follows:

Level One - Admin,  Storage, Staff Lounge, etc.
Sub Level I -  Medical, Education/Programs, Storage, Security Office,  Chapel
Sub Level II - Minimum Security: The minimum security wing houses, the majority of the non-powered and less violent inmates.
Sub Level  III - Medium Security.
Sub Level IV - Maximum Security. All female inmates are housed on this level, which is subdivided into a male and female block, including a separate Security Housing Unit (SHU) for disruptive females.
Sub Level V - Special Containment Unit (SCU): The SCU more popularly known as “The Crypt”, by both staff and inmates, contains the facility's "cold sleep" cells, which house some of the more dangerous inmates, such as Ontos - (The deformed monstrosity, that tore his way through a large chunk of southern Europe), Kid Chaos, and Fenris.

Inmate Population

In addition to the previously mentioned inmates, SMCC houses a wide range of metahuman criminals, within its walls. Some of the inmates currently housed at Stone Mountain include:

The Destroyers

Thunder Boy

Battlemaster - A high priced mercenary and arms specialist.

Quick question, any of you guys interested in seeing some stats on some of the inmates housed at Stone Mountain? Or some stats on the "new" security bots?

Thanks for the complements. I'll be adding more stuff over the next few days.

Anyone, besides John, reading this stuff?

Here's some additional info on the staff. I'll add more info later.

Notable Personalities

Warden: John Fraser - Stern, but fair, Warden Fraser is well liked by the members of his staff.

Asst. Warden for Operations and Security: Tyrone Banks - Asst. Warden Banks is an African American male, and former Army MP, he's responsible for all security related issues, and the day to day operations of the facility. 

Asst. Warden for Programs and Treatment: Rosalyn Sanchez - Rosalyn's an attractive middle aged Hispanic female. She started her career on the treatment side of the house, as a Corrections Counselor, and slowly worked her way into her current position.

Chief of Security: Hector Sanchez - Hector's a former Corrections Officer, who's worked his way up through the ranks. He's Rosalyn Sanchez's husband.

C.E.R.T. Commander: Lieutenant Winston Wright - Winston's a former US Marine, who runs a tight ship. He likes to keep his team in a high state of readiness, by constantly drilling them. He's not to keen on the idea of having humans replaced with robots, as he a firm believer that if something can go wrong, it will, and at the worst time possible.

Institutional Physician: Dr. Alfred Holmes – Dr. Holmes is s Jamaican male immigrant. While he's a firm believer in providing care to any of his patients, be it staff or inmate, he's not naive enough to fall for the tricks the inmates engage in. 

Chief Nurse Sylvia Wong - A Chinese female, originally from Hong Kong. She's been at this for a few years now, and doesn't but up with a lot of BS inmate try to play.

Institutional Psychiatrist: Dr. Stanley Berlinski - A relatively new addition to the staff. Dr. Berlinski finds the study of the various personalities of the villains both fascinating, and frightening, at the same time.

What does Ontos mean?

Correct.

What do you guys think of Stone Mountain so far? I'm looking around for some decent pics of a mountain, and some hi-tech jail cells.

OK Gents, I'm planning on adding an updated version of this to my PBEM game. For my players, all the info posted here is pretty much available to them, if they know where to look.

great stuff! do you mind if I swipe some for use in my game at home?

I know you've got a map....

Care to share?

Not for our game, for my game!

OK, Dave's talk about working on a super prison, for use with V&V, has motivated me to make a few additions to this thread. And while I'm at it, I'd really like to hear some feedback on the stuff I've posted so far.

The Cougar wrote on Feb 27^th, 2010 at 9:38am:


Not really. I suppose I could come up with some long drawn out explanation, of how it makes it easier for the human staff to accept their introduction to the facility.

The Cougar wrote on Feb 27^th, 2010 at 9:38am:


If it's a disruptive inmate, the CERT would be used to move him. For normal movement, several officers would escort the inmate within the facility.

The Cougar wrote on Feb 27^th, 2010 at 9:38am:


The way I see it, there would be a number of things such as motion sensors, security cameras (IR, UV, and Thermal), a radar system, retina scanners, facial recognition software, cypher locks, thumb print scanners, electrified anti-tamper devices, thermal and sonic energy weapons (all of this stuff is actually available today). Plus whatever goodies the GM decides to throw in for fun.

dsumner wrote on Aug 11^th, 2009 at 2:58pm:


King Mountain Correctional pics, perhaps?
Can't get those, but I could maybe scrounge you up some general mountainous area pics.

davew wrote on Feb 27^th, 2010 at 10:45am:


I used have some aerial pics of both King Mountain and Red Onion, but I have no idea of what I did with them. 

dsumner wrote on Feb 27^th, 2010 at 10:52am:


You might be able to get them online by going to google and doing the sattelite search. I know that there is a nice one of M center in the basement in the Asst. Warden's office but as I really can't get a camera in there to make myself a copy of it I will have to do without... 

davew wrote on Feb 27^th, 2010 at 1:01pm:


And lets not forget the member of the staff that falls for a villain (actually a very real issue that I saw several people ruin their careers over). Nurse Smith falls for inmate Jones, and smuggles in an item of contraband (narcotics, cell phones, weapons, etc). But in this case, it might be a high range radio frequency device, a mini-force field generator, a EMP device to shut down the prison's power supply, etc. etc.

davew wrote on Feb 27^th, 2010 at 2:01pm:


I didn't have to, I saw far to many employees get fired, or arrested for doing things I would have never dreamed of. My first week I saw a nurse get escorted out of the facility or getting involved with an inmate. I remember a person I thought I could trust get busted for bringing in steroids to inmates. And I'm the one that asked for the initial investigation. 

John wrote on Feb 27^th, 2010 at 2:17pm:


I know what you mean... I meant the bit about the video in humor of course, but I saw much of the same thing when I worked my five years as a psyche aide. When I became a lead aide towards the end I tried my best to pass this on... of course with my speech about being extra careful when dealing with BPD clients... but its hard to believe how many times you see this. I mean, come on! Read the darn charts! It makes my jaw drop to see how many employees get involved with clients that have had a past of dealing violence out on to their loved ones... all in the very same chart that the psyche aide had access to.

But, that's all for that... this is a V&V forum and while I'm sure me and you could talk about this sort of thing all day that's part of another connection we share and I should probably keep things more V&V focused here.

John wrote on Feb 27^th, 2010 at 2:17pm:


That's one of the ideas I suggested, something similar to what Mystique did for Magneto in X-Men 2. I could see a charismatic villain convincing a staff member to smuggle in contraband items. Or better yet, someone like Cobra, or Brother Blood (they're DC characters that have cult like followings), have one of their cult members working at the facility, and have them assist in an escape.

Dr. Worldbeater...
LOL!
I love that name! 

dsumner wrote on Feb 27^th, 2010 at 2:57pm:



LOL I figured that, and that is the thing I was goofing on.   I mean, aren't all the jails filled with innocent men and women?    I imagine that after many forty hour weeks  an employee may actually develop a rapport with some prisoners and feel empathy with them, enough to smuggle them the omni wave projector and allow them escape from Prision via the 29 and a half dimenision.

dsumner-
I agree, and of course you have to look at a lot of the inner workings of the Axis II spectrum- primarily the Antisocial Personality Disorder and at times, Borderline Personality Disorder features in the element of building up and de-valuing of the focused individual.
However, these are elements that I love to talk about but I've been hesitant to delve too much into in regards to keeping the fun element of V&V... I could easily make my works with V&V too much drawn into a perspective of psychological diagnosis and I try to avoid that as I think it could distract from the overall enjoyment of the game itself.

But, I have thought about presenting an Axis IV product down the road... there are only five axis areas in the APA's DSM standard... but what if there were a 6th? One for paranormal/supernature/superheroic aspects?

I've worked at two different jails (one Regional Jail, and a city Jail), as well as a direct supervision prison. It's a lot easier to remain detached from these guys when you're separated from them, and they're locked down (as the jails are, or the seg unit in the prison). I've also worked everything from yard officer, to main control, to a team leader on both the DCT (the riot control unit), and tactical support unit (THe SWAT/hostage rescue unit), as well as being an instructor for less lethal munitions, fire arms, ASP baton, and few other items.

In game terms, I'd modify several items (ASP batons become Stun Batons), less lethal weapons fire stun rounds (Paralysis Ray Device),  or things like electro snares, special grenades, etc.

The Ultimate Spiderman: Sinister Six storyline was well done with this.  Especially the way Doc Ock played the doctors.

The Arkum Aslyum TPB was very good as well.

Two very good comics which line up well with this discussion.

Here's Impact, of the all female villain group, the Sisterhood.

John wrote on Mar 4^th, 2010 at 4:58pm:


Getting to that, I went to bed before I finished her write-up.

Legal Status: US citizen with criminal record.

Origin/Background: Dr. Wright was always a bit high strung, but as long as his research showed promise, his supervisors tended to ignore his rather abrasive personality. That was until the accident. How could these cretins possibly think that he had anything to do with the accident, surely it was one the many incompetent staff members in his employ. And now these buffoons dared threaten to censure him, this was the final outrage.

As he stormed through the now wrecked hallways of his research lab, he noticed something strange, his feet were no longer in contact with the floor. He found this new development quite intriguing, and wondered what else had changed. And wit that thought, he set off to explore his new found abilities.

Combat Tactics/M.O.: Graviton's prefers not to engage in direct HTH, as he feels it's beneath someone of his intelligence to engage in such activities. He'll preferred method of attack, is to keep his opponents at bay, either increasing their weight to the point, where fliers, are pinned to the ground, or canceling gravity, and allowing others to float harmlessly, in the air, while he taunts, and berates them.   

Personality/Character Traits: Even before he gained his abilities, Adrian was a narcissistic megalomaniac, who belittled his coworkers, and subordinates, and people in general. Now that he's gained powers, he's ten times worse. 

These guys are both really cool; beautiful images and cool write-ups!

From Sniper's Combat Tactics/M.O., Weakness Detection would be a good fit for this character.

Great work - thanks for sharing these with with us, D!

Inventing: 30%
Legal Status: Duel citizenship, US/Norway. Wanted in both the US and EU.

Origin and Background: Ronald "Ronny" Masterson, or Thunderboy as he is now known, is quite simply put, insane. Given his powers by Loki, the Norse god of mischief, he's slowly lost his grip with reality. Basically Loki’s goal is to have Ronald run amok, causing as much havoc and destruction as possible. He knows that Ronald will eventually be stopped, but until then, he plans on sitting back to enjoying the show.

Combat Tactics/M.O.: Thunderboy’s primary tactic is to smash everything in sight. If confronted, he’ll lead off with a lightning bolt, and then begin swinging away with his hammer. He’ll use his teleportation to get behind his target, and strike them from the rear. He’ll use his “Thunderclap” to inflict collateral damage to the surrounding area, shattering glass, smashing buildings etc. He’ll then fling debris in every direction, until he tires, or becomes bored.

Personality/Character Traits: Ronald is basically a 15 year old, mentally unstable sociopath with superpowers. His powers have severed whatever links he still had with humanity. He now lives for the next time he can inflict harm on others.

How in the world are they keeping Smoke locked up?

With several of the inmates who have armor/devices, what do the authorities do with their equipment? Without their stuff, are the villains more dangerous than criminals in standard high-security prisons. If they escape, for instance, their battlesuit or asgardian gear won't be lying around for them. I'm just curious how that works.

Combat Tactics/M.O.: While Fenris is more than capable of handling his own in combat, he prefers to stalk his prey, and strike at them in a moment of weakness.

Personality/Character Traits: Cunning, sly, and very intelligent. He's also extremely patient and will lie in wait for years, as time is on his side.

NOTES: Fenris is a major villain, a world level threat capable of laying waste to large areas. He's incredibly tough to kill. Stone Mountain uses a combination of modern science, and ancient magics, to keep him contained within its walls.

Origin/Background: Fury is the product of a failed attempt at creating a genetically engineered Soviet super soldier. Raised in captivity, she eventually escaped, and since then, she's taken revenge on the not only her former communist masters, but anyone who's gotten in her way.

Combat Tactics/M.O.: Far from the sharpest tool in the shed, Fury's primary battle tactic is to smash her way through her opponents, until they're beaten to a pulp, torn limb from limb, or smashed beyond repair.

Personality/Character Traits: Fury is basically mad at the world. Her mistreatment by the scientists who raised her, her slightly lower intelligence, and innate rage, all combine for a highly volatile package. It's not unusual for to lash out in fits of rage. And lo unto anyone who tries to perform a medical procedure on her, even if it's for he own good.

What's funny is that I was scrolling through this page at work - and today I'm working in our Medical Clinic.  I was quickly scrolling down the page as a nurse walked behind me.  She exclaimed, "What the heck was that?" as she caught a glimpse of one of the images.   

I said it was somebody's drawing of a 'smoke monster'; she muttered something, and I got the impression she thought it was pretty strange.  I didn't even bother trying to explain...   

What became of Numbers 1-11? Did they die in the experiments? Or does 12 stand for something else?

Origin/Background: Mark was a soldier, and a good one at that, he excelled in hand-to-hand combat, and soon found himself one of the military’s primary instructors. The problem was, he was also a thief, and he soon found himself facing a very long stretch in a military prison. That’s when the military made him an offer, and gave him a chance to redeem himself. The Army was experimenting with a new drug designed to enhance soldier’s natural mental abilities. They hoped it would allow troops to resist the effects of fear, and will themselves to continue past the point when they would normally give up. If Mark volunteered for to test the drug, his record would be whipped clean, and he could start a new life as a civilian. With the prospect of spending the next 10 years locked away in maximum security, he jumped at the chance. After months of testing, the drugs seemed to have no noticeable affects. Without positive results to show, funding was soon cut, and the project shelved.

As per their word, Mark’s record was cleared, and he was returned to civilian life a free man. But, Mark had hidden the drug’s effects from the research personnel. Not only had they increased his will, they also activated a latent mutant ability. He quickly capitalized on his new found abilities, gaining work with the criminal underground. The Hound now works as a psychic tracker, used by various criminal organizations to track people or objects they wish to find.

Notes: I'm still tinkering with his power write-up. I'm trying to figure out how to describe his tracking ability in game terms, once I do, I'll post another update.
