Lets get one thing straight right off the bat, my name is Jeremiah J. Jonestown, and I run the show here at J.S.P. Thats Jonestown State Penn for you illiterate types. You follow the rules here and keep yer head low and yer hands where we can see em, and you'll be outta here before you know it. You start smartin off with them city slicker lips and you'll be sleepin in the shoe with Bubba Jenkins.

 Now that we have that outta the way, and since I'm feelin in a generous type a mood,  I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this here little 'community' we got here, it may help you realize the illustrious history of J.S.P.

It all started back at the end of ole W W tew.

 Now, I was just a little one back then, but my ole pappy Jebediah...That's Jebediah J Jonestown the second, well, he had hisself an idear. He saw all the hooligans and nogooddoers locked up in the old fashioned jails weren't doin nobody any good, and he thought, well heck, lets put them no good sons of guns to work.

 He found a few investors willing to put up the funds and he bought hisself an island off the Coast of Minnetropolis, only back in those days it was called Old man Crick's land.

Now, I know it's kinda hard to see, but if ya look reeeal close you can see what my ole pappy saw, and that was U.S. minted dollar coins just waitin to be plucked from that isle. You see, that land had deposits of minerals just waitin for someone to dig it up. All that timber wern't no bad deal either.

It didn't take long for things to start chuggin along, and before you know it, my pappy done had hisself a small commune of convicts set up in what was soon to be known as J.C.L.C.

Jonestown County Labor Camp.

Here's where me an my pappy lived.

We lived good fer a spell, life was easy when you had plenty of free hands doin the work. It didn't last long though...

Ya see, them dang convicts got all up and awnry one night, and somehow managed to overpower the guards. They came straight out to the house with torches

in their hands and murder in their eyes.

 They took my pappy that night, took him up to the top of the mine shafts, where their was this ole gnarly oak tree. Tree must've been there since Adam hisself roamed the land, you know?

Well, they hung my pappy like a smoked ham from that there tree, and curse the day they did, for that's the day I inherited what was to become...

This looks very good, Im looking forward to see how this develops

[autoVino 26]

Great idea!  "A Maximum Security City Journal"... I like that.  The country accent in the story makes it fun to read

[Explodingsims 3]

This looks promising, and I can't wait to see more

[sc4portugal 10]

Jonestown County Labor Camp.

 

The Early Days

Well, pappy may have gotten lynched, but doggarnit we weren't about to let no yellow bellied theives and noggoddoers run rampant over J.C.L.C.

No sirrie..

We got things squared away quick enough, what with the U.S. Army comin in to help quiet things down. Soon enough it was back to business.

I reckon I should show you some pictures of the mining and lumber camps, so you's can see how things were back then.

I remember taking these with one of those new fangled color Camera's that just came out, dang thing cost me pert near a fortune, but boy did she make some perty pictures.

This here was the lumber yard, within 15 years we had that land stripped so clean of trees  you could see a squirrel squattin halfway cross the island and know what kinda nuts he ate fer supper the night before.

I bought me a fancy new lens when I made me this shot, she's a beaut eh?

 You can see the Mines here, we had a railway tied us to the mainland, and we hauled granite outta that quarry for dang near 30 years before she finally dried up. You can see pappy's Oak in the background there. We finally had to dig that tree up when we clearcut the entire iland to make way for the J.S.P. But that's a story for next time.

[srr2 1]

I love the story, and the mine looks awesome and realistic too. The tree adds a nice effect to the haunting landscape. I like how you faded the pics to add to the story too.

[nyctnv 0]

Wow! Now that's creative. Keep it up, I'm interested in where this story is going.

JONESTOWN COUNTY LABOR CAMP

The fire of '64.

 In looking back, we shoulda known that somethin just wasn't right that summer way back in 64. The mining operations were diggin far too deep, and the cons were complainin about all kinds of ailments. Heck, even ole Jimbo "Hambone" Smith was a complainin that his lungs were fillin up with fluid faster than a swine could muddy up.

 It was August, hottest dang month I ever did see, and that day was no exception. Started off in one of the prisoners cabins...someone must have lit a bed on fire.

Well, next thing we knew, the whole compound was lit up like the fourth of July.

And before we could so much as piss on a bush, the whole operation was a blazin. The Mines, The Lumber Mill, the whole blasted island was goin up in smoke. Felt like the lord hisself came down with a fiery anger upon us.

When it was all said and done, weren't much left to look at, just a pile of smokin stumps and ash.

Well, I decided then and there that the minin and millin had to go, and I almost threw in the towel right then and there, but the lord had other plans for that island.

 Ole Gov'ner Brown hisself came down to offer his condolences, and, well...he made me an offer I jus couldn't right refuse.

He tol me the whole state was goin down the tubes, and there were so many crimnals runnin around with no place to put em. He told me "Jeremiah, you listen here...you got yerself a might fine island out here, and with a little work, I think we can make this a grand ole place to house all these degenerate types. I'm gonna open up the states coffers to ya, and you dig out this smokin shell and make us a proper prison you hear?"

 It was then and there that we started workin on what was to become...

"Initial Blueprint schematics"

Well, it took about as long for me and the boys to get started on plannin fer the new Jail as it would for two rabbits to start a family. I got my uncle Judd to draft up some plans and we set about tearin that island a new cornhole.

 First thing we done did was to level that Island to the ground. She already had some seawalls to her, so We jus needed to clear out the deadwood and get the foundation set up.

You can see from this here fancy "airreal" picture that we had a nice level area set aside fer the jail, and that there beach area was gonna be the dockin grounds fer the ferries. Ya see, we had blwon the bridge to the mainland up in order to prevent any 'escapees' from makin a quick getaway.

I know you probably can't read uncle Judd's schematic too good, but if you squint up yer eyes right tight, you can see how he has seperated up the crimnals into different areas, and we have some perty new ideas that we are gonna be puttin together in order to make this one tough sonuva***** to crack outta.

Well, I reckon you have a bit of an idea now how we are gonna set this thing up.

Next time I'll be showin ya the Green Mile Entry area into the Penn, I reckon yer gonna like it.

lol, this is really creative and interesting! i love the slogan too. i can't wait to see where this is going

[gshmails 534]

Can't wait to see the new facility!

[Shilka 0]

I must say this is a very creative concept, and well presented as well.

I like these city jobs that are based on functionality and usually automatically have a naturally good look to them because they seem 'logical'.

Looking forward to future updates

 The Port Authority

Well, I was just about to show y'all the green Mile til my Port Auth Ore itty  Officer, Leron Jinkens just about blew a gasket on me. He says the only proper way to show you J.S.P. is to start where the Journey begins, or ends for most of these two bit cons.

So, this here's the Port Authority,  the drop off point for most of the Hardened Criminals of Minnetropolis. We ferry em all in so's they don't have no easy way to escape. You see, we must be pert near two miles from shore, and the sea will drown any man brave enough to jump in and have a chat with old Davey Jones.

 If ya look, you can see we have 4 Guard towers watchin over the port, as well as security cameras and an I.D. Tower. The I.D. tower helps us keep track on the cons 24/7. Each convict get implanted with a special identification beacon before they arrive at J.S.P., so once they get here, we can track every move they make. Bet you wish your jails were so well equipped, doncha?

Lemme show you a daylight shot.

Now you should be able to see some more of the details. Dagnabbit, that Leron told me three months ago he was gonna smooth over that bump in the road, and I see she's still bumpin. I got's to remind me to tell that boy what for...

I'm gonna show you one more picture before I go, this one is a teaser for the ole...Green mile, the last train ride some of these boys will ever get.

Til Next time,

Jones

[CasperVg 372]

That looks really interesting, and very creative too! Will be following this.

[AceofSpades 1]

man, this is cool and really interesting. great work

"The Green Mile"

Once we get the cons off the ferries, we ship em to the Penn in what we like to call our 'cattle cars', these babies travel through the woods up to the jail proper.

 Now these woods have come to be known as the 'Green Mile', and it sure is a perty ride up to the gate.

Once they get to that gate up on the top of the hill though, well...

That's the end of the Line.
