Would be interesting of the Collars were tracking but the impression I get is one of the few reasons that make this prison viable is that the tracking collars are in fact incredibly cheap to make (Who knew it was that easy?).
It is interesting that there is a LOT more production capacity going into the fortress itself then the actual prison part (In fact... I don't even know if the prison even supplies food or if it is left to the prisoners to russet it up themselves)
Then again it makes sense if you actually visit the fort... (Prisons that basically let the prisoners do whatever they want... do exist... They typically aren't good prisons)
