The fort on Blackgate Isle has existed for more than a century. At one point, it was used as Continental Army stockade during the Revolutionary War, but the Union Army eventually demolished it and constructed a military prison in its stead. At the end of the 19th century, it was transferred to the state and was renamed Blackgate Penitentiary. It was shut down in 80s amidst alleged human rights violations but was later reopened for "extraordinary needs". Eventually, the prison had to be upgraded to house Arkham Asylum's patients. It now has the largest exceptional-risk inmates of any prison in the US. There have been many successful prison escapes since then, which is why Batman had been given special access to the prison in case of emergency, but this access was revoked after Jim died. Batman and any other vigilantes are now considered hostile. Approach the prison with extreme caution.
