Penley T. Housefather Correctional Facility

Penley T. Housefather Correctional Facility, known as "the Pent House" and also by the acronym PTHCF, is a super-maximum security prison located in the Arizona desert and built to incarcerate augmented criminals. It is the location featured in the expansion A Criminal Past for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Background
The Pent House opened in 2027 and is named after Penley T. Housefather, an Arizonan senator known for his deep contempt for the augmented. The prison is part of an aug-only prison system operated under the Terminal Violation Policy system spearheaded by senator Housefather. Under this policy, the prison is permitted to deliver 24-hour execution orders without trial or appeal, if an inmate is judged to have committed an infraction falling under certain the "Terminal Violation" classification. Executions must be signed by the Warden, a professional doctor, and the prison head of security.

In 2028, the Pent House has been infiltrated by the black market group Junkyard, which utilizes the execution policy of the facility to harvest augmentations from executed inmates. The operation is headed by Hector Guerrero, a Junkyard member and undercover Interpol agent, who decides which inmates are to be executed and when. The executions are then carried out by Thomas Stenger, the Pent House's head of security, who uses Peter Wörthmüller to harvest the inmates' augmentations.

A Criminal Past
During the events of A Criminal Past, a riot breaks down in the Pent House, in part because of the inmates' contempt for the prison's execution practices. The inmates overrun many parts of the prison, including the prison's administrative offices.

The choices made by Adam Jensen determine which parts of the prison are controlled by the inmates and which are controlled by the guards. For example, delivering Wörthmüller's altered biocell to Red Shoes will give the inmates a sizeable advantage, making them stronger and allowing them to overrun parts of the prison tower.
