Sebastian Frost hid in the trunk of this old car for three days after he was broken out from the Zig. The PPD now keep secret agents around the courts - specifically as basketball players - to prevent such a slip up from happening again. Officers were unable to find this well hidden location until it was too late. Tub Ci used this secret path beneath the basketball courts of Brickstown to make a clean escape from the Zig. It was only shortly afterward that plans for the Zig were created, driving the majority of business owners out from Brickstown and into Steel Canyon, rendering Mashu bridge nothing but an odd landmark. Traffic was heavy in Brickstown, causing a need for this bridge to be constructed. The Mashu bridge was built in Brickstown long before construction on the Zig began. This either leads to the Freakshow increasing their ranks or hunting down the fugitives who break their end of the bargain. The Freakshow frequently make deals with inmates - they'll hold off the PPD if the escapees join the Freakshow. When a fugitive escapes from the Zig, this area is the first place that the PPD patrol. Mako was seen leaping from skiff to skiff during the aerial battle with Longbow until he dove into the waters of Talos to swim back to the Isles. It ended up on the roof, where he commandeered a Longbow Skiff to fly himself out. Captain Mako had been captured by some heroes, only to escape, tearing a path of destruction through the Zig. The roof of the Zig is the site of the first breakout by Arachnos. Zigursky Penitentiary is where all criminals both mundane and super-powered end up. This nexus is the intersection of two very minor Ley Lines, almost imperceptible to those without Second Sight.
The Freakshow are aware of this weakness and have already made several failed attempts to do just that in order to free their brethren held within.
Zigursky Prison and Brickstown both lie above a series of natural caverns, and could theoretically be destroyed if those caverns were collapsed. The private security forces of Crey Industries frown upon outside interference, because they see this as their personal problem. In addition to the prisoner problems, Brickstown has Crey agents running around, as the Countess tries to expand her power. Other nicknames for the prison, used most often by those within its walls, include "The Brick House" and "The Big Zig." The lack of available police and security means that the prisoners don't have too difficult a time getting out of jail. Unfortunately, it's not very effective, with the rampaging criminals all over the city always wanting to spring their buddies. This mammoth structure is most often called "The Ziggurat," and was constructed to hold prisoners with powers that would allow them to easily escape from normal jails. The signature landmark of Brickstown is Zigursky Prison.
