A secret penal colony hidden away underneath Rapture, constructed to hold any political dissidents who opposed Ryan. Rapture’s original plan did not include a prison, but the need for one became apparent almost immediately, despite Ryan’s own distaste for the idea. Augustus Sinclair anticipated this need and built Persephone soon after Rapture’s founding. In short order, Ryan populated the place with a bustling prisoner population. Dissidents effectively “disappeared” from Rapture society, giving Sinclair free rein to use them as experimental test subjects or simple slave labor.
One such prisoner was Sofia Lamb, sent to Persephone for speaking out against Ryan’s principles of self-interest. Lamb began offering her psychological therapy services to other inmates and eventually built up a strong enough following to stage a revolt, throwing Sinclair and his supporters out of Persephone entirely. The last Sinclair saw of Persephone, Lamb had taken control of the place and all its inhabitants, to unknown ends…
An imposing security tower overlooks the Holding Wing. The Infirmary and Therapy Wings provide treatment for Persephone’s inmates. Sinclair’s clandestine escape vessel is stored at the facility’s Docking Platform in the center.

Sofia Lamb has instructed her Family to set explosives around the facility in an attempt to drop the entire structure into the oceanic trench it’s perched over. There’s little time to waste—Delta and Eleanor must move fast!
