Southern Albion Penitentiary

Southern Albion Penitentiary (also known as the Sap, or the Southern Albion Rig and simply the Rig to prisoners) is a maximum security prison that sits on a converted xeno-oil rig superstructure off the coast of the island of New Madagascar, which in turn sits within the Gulf of Charon and the larger Southern Albion Sea. With the rig originally being used to extract natural gas and oil from xenoflora and xenofauna fossil deposits in the area in the late 2100s, the advent of the 2300s and the rise of Hyperion's population forced the planetary government to invest in new penal centers that could offer potent security both for the prisoners and the general civilian population. With oil and natural gas deposits running out across the world, the planetary government of Hyperion purchased multiple rigs before their scrapping and repurposed them into prisons with various levels of security, thus leading to the birth of the Sap (alongside numerous other prison-rigs).
The Sap first opened in 2309 and eventually grew to accommodate ten thousand maximum security prisoners, but with meteoric population rise in the late 2300s and early 2400s came about a renovation to its superstructure and accommodating facilities. As of the 2600s, the Sap can now accomodate up to thirty thousand prisoners and maintaining a high inmate-staff ratio through penal and security droids in addition to regular human correctional officers.
