New Folsom Prison

New Folsom Prison is a notorious former Terran Confederacy 'gulag', based on New Folsom, now run by the Terran Dominion. Main prison blocks are situated on oil-rig type platforms inside a giant volcano caldera.

History
New Folsom was originally viewed by the Terran Confederacy as a source of catalytic elements for the production of neosteel. However, the planet was so deadly it took four attempts to construct a mine, called the New Folsom Confederate Mine, using a flexible platform to adjust to the planet's shifting crust.

Shortly thereafter, the same elements were discovered in the considerably safer Sara System. The expensive mine was repurposed into the New Folsom prison. The planet itself prevented escape, and only a minimal number of guards and robots were needed. The prisoners were forced to mine the catalytic elements... at a cheap cost for the government.

Many Korhalians were imprisoned by the Confederacy. When it fell, the Terran Dominion took control of the planet and used the prison for the same purposes.

At the outbreak of the Second Great War, Jim Raynor believed no one had escaped from the prison in 50 years. Tychus Findlay, a former convict, claimed to have made a successful escape.

During the war, Raynor's Raiders helped Gabriel Tosh, a vehemently anti-Dominion spectre, to free prisoners from New Folsom.
