'''Devil's Scar Penitentiary '''is an area in [[Ghosthunter | '''Devil's Scar Penitentiary''' is an area in ''[[Ghosthunter:Ghosthunter]]''. It is the fifth area after completing [[Ghosthunter:H.M.S. Victoria|H.M.S. Victoria]]. | ||
== History == | |||
Devil's Scar Penitentiary used to hold the world's most dangerous criminals, most of which were awaiting execution, and was known to be impossible to escape from. | |||
The institution was operated by Warden Jim McCarthy, who held great faith that here simply was no escape from the island. He was so certain that it was impossible to escape that when being interviewed about a supposed escaped prisoner, Joey 'Houdini' Holbrook, he stated that '...the day someone does, will be the day that I die.' | |||
The prison held the prisoner Frank Agglin who was incarcerated and sentenced to death for murdering his wife and an undisclosed amount of people whilst being under the possession of [[Ghosthunter:Sir William Hawksmoor|Sir William Hawksmoor]]. Agglin expressed great remorse for his crimes and two letters found in the area, addressed to his daughter Polly Agglin, show that he was unsure of why he committed the crimes at all considering he laundered no hatred towards any of his victims. These letters also detail that Agglin's daughter may have died in a fire but this claim is uncertain and never verified. | |||
Joey 'Houdini' Holbrook, as mentioned before, was rumoured to have escaped the prison. Warden Jim McCarthy firmly denied the claims and reassured the press that he was either burnt in the furnace or eaten by sharks; if he at all made it to the water. In an article, Holbrook's escape process is explained: first he faked an illness and was taken to the hospital ward, waited until it was dark and broke into the furnace room. He then made his way through the sewer system and emerged on the south beach where he is assumed to have swum to safety. A postcard addressed to McCarthy sent from Rio De Janeiro in June 1953 from Holbrook shows that did definitely escape. | |||
It is indicated, although never detailed further, that riots broke out in 1953 leading to the closure of the prison as a correctional institution. Sometime in the future from this the island was re-opened as a tourist destination with the opportunity to learn more about the history of the island and its inmates, complete with Frank Agglin's 'Flame Grilled' Burger Bar. | |||
From the derelict state of the prison upon arrival it can be assumed that it no longer operates as a prison or tourist destination and simply withers away as time passes between harsh weather and even harsher seas. | |||
