SCP-1889
Item #: SCP-1889
Name: Prison Asylum
Class: Safe/Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-1889, it cannot be moved to a Foundation site and must be contained within the standard confines of the
prison with some reasonable extra precautions. It is to be surrounded by two 10 foot tall fences encircling the perimeter and to be topped with four inch thick razor
wire at all times. Armed Foundation guards are to patrol the inside and outside of the site at all times, with more personnel patrolling during the █████ shift. Access to
the site of SCP-1889 is restricted to Class █ Personnel who are under the supervision of a Level 3 or higher supervisor who are to report any and all changes and the
aftermath of the day to Dr. █████ . Any Class D Personnel obtained from the site and staff assigned to SCP-1889 are to be psychologically screened on a daily basis if
any encounters with SCP-1889-1-A occur. Experimentation is allowed at the discretion of the current supervisor or Dr. █████.
Description: SCP-1889 is a medium/minimum security prison located in the city of G█████, Massachusetts that is currently under the authority of the Foundation and
the state's penal system. The site originated in 1902 and was known as G█████ State Hospital and had it's own livestock and vegetation to provide for the patients.
It was closed on July 1, 1975 and reopened on June 18, 1981 as North Central Correctional Institution. Activity was first reported to the Foundation two weeks after
the first batch of inmates arrived. Inmates complained about seeing ghosts wandering about aimlessly and were subsequently ignored by prison staff until prison
faculty and current prison supervisor █████ saw said ghosts as well. Within a year of the initial reports, the Foundation was alerted and subsequently took action to
ensure prisoner, civilian, and staff safety. These ghosts shall be henceforth known as SCP-1889-1-A and B. These ghosts appear to be those of former patients and
hospital staff. SCP-1889-1-A are the patients. Any and all interactions must be handled with extreme caution as many instances of SCP-1889-1-A are unpredictable and
become hostile if approached too close. Some cases of SCP-1889-1-A are capable of inducing brief or chronic mental disorders if exposed to for long periods of time.
Within five minutes of exposure, victims will feel cold and display signs of psychomotor agitation. Within 10 minutes of exposure, victims will become agitated and
attempt self harm. ██ minutes after continued exposure, victims will scream and plead against an unknown figure to release them from the hospital. Finally, after ██
minutes of continued exposure, victims will attempt suicide or experience panic attacks or catatonia. To reduce the risk of exposure to SCP-1889-1-A, assigned
personnel are highly recommended to wear wolf's bane (Arnica montana). SCP-1889-1-B are fairly safe if not somewhat devious. They are often reported to strap
prisoners and staff to gurneys and push them back and forth between the other instances of SCP-1889-1-B and spin them around. Victims report that the instances of
SCP-1889-1-B do this as if they are playing a game. SCP-1889-1-B often attempt to medicate or otherwise treat staff and inmates to "cure" them of their mental
illness. The results of these attempts at treatment have varying results ranging from [DATA EXPUNGED] to requiring transport to Bridgewater █████ ████████ and
even to being successful and allowing released inmates to become productive members of society. SCP-1889-2 is the prison itself and activates only at [DATA
EXPUNGED]. SCP-1889-2's appearance will begin to morph and twist based on an individuals deepest secrets and fears or even in some cases have resulted in
universal sightings of the same scenario. Some exposure victims report SCP-1889-2 changing in appearance to a hellish location covered in rust and blood akin to that
of the famed Silent Hill series while other have claimed to have seen corpses plastered on the walls and others claiming the walls of their cells closing in very close to
them but not enough to crush them. Some victims have even contemplated suicide as a result of SCP-1889-2's visions. Exposed inmates, staff, and Foundation
personnel should be screened on a regular basis for any abnormal changes in behavior or mood. Any suicide attempts by Foundation personnel or Class D or █
personnel due to SCP-1889 must be reported to Dr. █████ and the victim to be placed under psychological quarantine until said victim is cleared after a thorough
evaluation.
