Bedevilled Island

This seemingly peaceful jungle island, situated in a remote tropical region only a few hundred miles from the Elizabeth Tapir Center, is home to one of Thembria's most dreaded maximum-security prison camps. "Bedevilled Island", as it is known, stands as one of the few Thembrian colonies to exist outside the borders of official Thembrian airspace. Thembria's worst prisoners are sent to Bedevilled Island, where they spend their lengthy prison sentences doing hard labor in a sweltering tropical climate.

The island's main prison complex resides in a small clearing surrounded by a dense jungle. Tall wooden fences, with guard posts mounted along the camp's perimeter, encompass a random collection of thatched huts, barracks, and ramshackle buildings patrolled by armed Thembrian soldiers. The camp commander, Colonel Slammer, governs the prisoners with unyielding authority, showing no mercy to those who disobey his stringent rules. Work details and hard labor exercises are held daily, as well as forced marches along paths through the jungle.

The prisoners at Bedevilled Island face a rather bleak existence, working long hours and living on meager food. Insubordination usually results in extensions of one's prison term, or a few hours in the "hot box" as punishment. Several prisoners have tried to escape and failed; to date, only one successful escape has ever been made from Bedevilled Island.

Points of Interest:

Hot Box: Insubordinate prisoners usually spend time cooling their heels inside one of Colonel Slammer's sadistic inventions, tiny shacks located along the western wall of the camp. As the sun's rays heat the building's metal roof, temperatures inside the box can reach up to 200 degrees (most likely an exaggerated estimate).

Main Office: Colonel Slammer's command post, where he keeps extensive files on all the prisoners in his camp.

Mess Hall: Prisoners and soldiers alike gather in the main dining area of the camp to receive their meals. While gruel is commonly served, inmates are occasionally forced to live on bowls of gruel steam — sometimes served cold! Because of camp regulations, however, prisoners rarely request second helpings.

Rock Pile: A pile of gigantic boulders awaits particularly disobedient prisoners. Several of these immense rocks have sat intact for years, too large for even entire gangs of prisoners to break down.

Shooting Range: The final stop for those who repeatedly break Colonel Slammer's rules or, while in prison, commit a violation of Thembrian law grievous enough to warrant the use of a firing squad.
