Briefing Page-Escape From New York

There are no guards inside the prison: only prisoners and the worlds they have made.

The rules are simple. Once you go in, you don't come out. Escape from New York

Insurgent Briefing Pamphlet.

The New York Federal Penitentiary is a World unto itself. Many of the regions in conflict have little to agree on but sending their criminals to New York is one thing the areas can agree on. Of course the regions once belonged to the United States so they have a history between them. It is part of the Custodial Agreement that prisoners will not be used in other conflicts beyond the walls, whatever they may be.

The Federal Prison System was established soon after the unexpected outbreak of hostilities between the principal world combatants in 1988. In the 40 years sine the system began the wars have gone through several phases but the process of delivering prisoners has stabilized and has had few breeches of contract by participating members.

Principal World Combatants

• United States of America and the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics.
• Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
• Federate Republic of Brazil and the Argentine Republic & Allies

Known Inside Groups

There are a vast a variety of groups inside the city.

Nobles

In the early days of the prison a man of unknown history assembled a great deal of power in the form of a source of gasoline, electricity, food, and luxury items. How he came by was unknown for many years but his supply chain was secure enough that he became known as the Duke of New York. His main underlings Were called Counts, and the lower ones barons. These individuals used the trade goods to secure the loyalty of underlings and to seize territory in the form of buildings. The structure was sufficiently established that after the 1997 Presidential Incident occurred the surviving counts were able to vie for the title Duke and control of the inflow of goods.

In 2020 Insurgent Team 38 discovered a defunct subway line from the early 1900s that had been sealed off and used to reach New Jersey. This ended the flow of goods to the Duke of New York. By then other sources of goods had been developed and the Nobles held control over many parts of the city.

COA-Children of Anarchy

The COA is a extremely diverse organization comprised of many cells with as few as 3 or 4 members and as many as several thousand.
