New Folsom Prison is a maximum security facility on New Folsom.
Main prison blocks are situated on oil-rig type platforms inside a giant volcano caldera.[1]
History
The Terran Confederacy transformed the New Folsom Confederate Mine into a political prison after the catalytic elements required to forge neosteel were discovered in the Sara system. People who were enemies of the Confederacy, but too valuable (or popular) to kill, were sent there and used to work the mine's machinery. Requiring only a minimal guard staff and robotic sentries, New Folsom served as an inexpensive source of unrefined ore and minerals.
Many members of the Sons of Korhal spent hard time in New Folsom Prison during their rebellion against the Confederacy. Nevertheless, the Terran Dominion continued to use it.[2]
The Dominion harvested inmates to be used as test subjects at the Tyrador III research facility.[3]
At the outbreak of the Second Great War, Commander Jim Raynor believed no one had escaped from the prison since 2454.[4] Tychus Findlay was rumored to be locked away there[5] and claimed to have broken out while being transported to the prison,[6][7] though in reality was released as part of a deal with Emperor Arcturus Mengsk.[8]
