The Rukkollo Supermax is the Gudersnipe Foundation's most infamous prison. It has been the subject of several sensational films and books about the horrors that go on there. It is a total-control zone, men-only, and with a prisoner-to-guard ratio of over a thousand to one. Alliance inspectors, whi visit the facility regularly, report that it is "Actually quite nice" and "Maybe not somewhere you would like to go on holiday, but could offer a comfortable retirement".

Layout and Function

The exact location of Rukkollo is a secret; it is only accessible by gate. As a penal colony, it is fully self-sufficient; only medical supplies and some higher technology are imported. Much of Rukkollo operates on a system similar to the Primitive Plus, though with a higher over-all standard of living and greater oversight. The majority of inmates are non-violent offenders who had, for one reason another, elected to serve out their sentence at a penal colony. Unlike most of the Foundation's penal worlds, inmates can be released from Rukkollo, and they have access to communications with friends and family on the outside. No visitors or care packages are allowed.

Over 90% of the prisoners are trusties, also known as colonists. They live in relative comfort though with a low over-all level of technology, an most of their time is spent doing the work that makes the colony self-sufficient, including farming and mining. Prisoners can enjoy a high standard of living, and those willing to work hard can enjoy quite a few luxuries.

Supermax

The maximum-security portion of the prison houses the most dangerous inmates. These are, however, contradictory to the prison's portrail on film, not overly violent individuals. The perpetrators of especially violent crimes are almost always executed
