==History==
===Avengers Civil War===
====Arresting the Avengers====
In 2016, as the Clash of the Avengers ended, Sam Wilson, Wanda Maximoff, Clint Barton, and Scott Lang were captured by Thaddeus Ross and taken to the Raft for working outside the law. Tony Stark flew to the Raft to tell Wilson that he believes Steve Rogers' story about Helmut Zemo. Stark landed on the Raft and was greeted by Ross before heading to the cells. As he was heading into the cells, he caught footage of Maximoff in the cell, and was disgusted by how Ross had treated her. 
Before entering Stark took out the footage so that Ross and his team couldn't hear his conversations with them. When Stark entered the room, he was mocked by Barton, but Stark told Barton that he didn't know they would be put there. Since the Raft was built for criminals, Barton claimed that they were all now. Stark then walked past Lang who said that you can never trust a Stark, which Stark came back by not knowing who he was.
Stark then met with Wilson. Stark told Wilson that he believed Rogers and that he needed his help to tell him where Rogers and Bucky Barnes had gone. Wilson told Stark about the HYDRA facility in Siberia and the Winter Soldiers which Zemo was planning to reactivate, and told him to go alone as a friend. Stark then left the Raft, much to Ross's suspicion.
====Helmut Zemo's Planned Transfer====
After T'Challa had brought Helmut Zemo into custody in the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre Building for his crimes against the United Nations and the Avengers, Everett Ross told him that Zemo would be processed and that the CIA would interrogate him to see if had any further plans the agency needed to worry about before eventually sending him to the Raft to serve a life sentence.Black Panther: The Junior Novel However, Zemo did not end up being sent to the Raft, instead being transferred to a different prison in Berlin.The Falcon and The Winter Soldier: 1.02: The Star Spangled Man

===Arrest of Trish Walker===
After Trish Walker ended a string of sadistic vigilante acts with the murder of Gregory Sallinger, Jessica Jones pursued her, took Walker down and knocked her unconscious.

Jones later solemnly watched from afar as Walker was boarded onto a helicopter that took off and transported her to the Raft.
===Capture of Helmut Zemo===
In 2024, the Dora Milaje took Helmut Zemo to the Raft. One day, while in his cell, Zemo heard from his radio about the explosion of a prison transport that killed three of the remaining Flag Smashers and smiled, knowing that his butler Oeznik had succeeded in their plan.
