Purgatory Correctional Facility is a Minecraft server based around the prison mode. In order to free yourself of the crowded and dangerous prison, you must prove yourself worthy. Making alliances and truces with fellow prisoners and gangs plays a key role in your survival here. Fight your way through gang battles and prison fights. Making the smallest of mistakes can cost you your life as well as all the items and cash you've worked hard for. Swords, etc. are considered contraband in the prison, so keep it out of sight when guards are around. Cell inspections and raids are common, so staying alert is very important here.
Charlie-Prisoner
Cost: $0 --- You were apprehended by the police and brought to jail where you were sentenced to 20 years in Purgatory Correctional Facility with the possible chance of parole. You are new and have not gained any respect from senior prisoners. Pull out your pick and shank and work your way toward freedom.
Bravo-Prisoner
Cost: $25,000 --- You finally worked your way up to B block. You have gained a bit more respect from your fellow inmates, although you still don't have as nearly as much as senior prisoners. This block includes a bank, mine, larger cells, cafeteria, mob arena, extended PvP areas, workrooms, and shops.
Alpha-Prisoner
Cost: $50,000 --- Looks like you've made some progress. You're not far from getting out. This block includes shops, hostile mob farms, passive mob farms, cells, snowball arena, shops, cells. PvP in this area is somewhat limited due to the size of the Alpha block. Please note that this block will be undergoing renovations within the next few days, so it will be closed for a short period of time.
Echo-Prisoner
Cost: $100,000 --- You're now at the highest prison rank availiable. You've earned your way to this block. This block includes a mine,shop, hostile and passive mob arena, workroom, a special blackmarket, and a spleef arena. You're now much closer to freedom. Good luck!
Parole
Cost: $250,000 --- Congratulations! You've been released from Purgatory Correctional Facility. You are now able to visit Free City and build in the wild. You also have access to the Minigames and Creative world.
Prestige Ranks
Your actions have cost you your freedom... again. You're now in a maximum security facility with almost no protection from disease, famine, mobs, and other inmates. These blocks are rarely patrolled by guards. PvP is enabled everywhere, as well as mobs. Live or die.
Please note that prestiging is completely optional and is more of a bonus rather than a requirement.
FH-Unit Prisoner - Cost to prestige: $0 --- Well, you're back in the slammer. Good luck getting out this time. All materials and mines are basic. PvP enabled everywhere, living conditions are poor.
AD-Unit Prisoner - Cost: $500,000 --- While the conditions slightly improve due to your good behavior in FH, conditions are still barebones. Basic materials, basic shops, and PvP enabled everywhere.
FF-Unit Prisoner - Cost: $1,000,000 --- As always, basic, but improving. Don't lose hope. You're not too far off.
RR-Unit Prisoner - Cost: $1,5000,000 --- The fourth and final block in the maximum security facility. The conditions here are the best, although still somewhat poor and basic compared to those of the medium/minimal security facility. Your hard work will pay off soon.
Citizen - You've successfully escaped the maximum security facility. Congratulations. You are now free, and no longer have to worry about violating your parole. In addition to access to the free world again, you'll enjoy some additional perks that are exclusive to prestige escapees only.
Staff Ranks
Prison Guard
Cost: $0 (Application Required) --- So, you've been through the prison, now it's your turn to guard it. Prevent prison riots and violence by confiscating swords, doing cell inspections, and enforcing the general prison rules. Guards have the ability to take swords and other contraband, inspect cells, and jail inmates who refuse to give up contraband.
Sr. Guard
Cost: $0 (Must be promoted from Prison Guard) --- Senior Guards have all the responsibilities of a Prison Guard, however, they have the ability to order a lock down, global cell inspections, as well as the ability to kick, ban, and temporarily ban users.
PCF Police Officer
Cost: $0 (Must be promoted from Senior Guard) --- Has global moderating abilities. Responds to riots and other situations at the prisons, and also patrols the free world to keep it clean of criminals.
Warden
Cost: $0 (Must be promoted from PCF Police Officer) --- Wardens have complete control over the prison and the server. These users are in charge at all times and can do everything.
Sr. Warden
Cost: $0 (Reserved) -- Senior Warden is reserved for the three owners of Purgatory Correctional Facility. These users have access to system files as well as everything on the server.
Hacked clients and X-ray texture packs are prohibited.
Flaming/Insults will not be tolerated.
Racial slurs and hate speech will not be tolerated.
Excessive swearing will not be tolerated.
Advertising other servers via private message or public chat is prohibited.
Griefing is allowed, however, making huge lava towers and destroying server structures is not tolerated.
Do not impersonate guards or staff members.
Mini-modding is not allowed.
Do not join and ask for a staff rank.
Do not exploit bugs or glitches. This will result in a permanent ban.
Spamming chat is not allowed.
Using alternate accounts to evade suspensions, bans, mutes, or jail sentences are not allowed.
Respect staff members and other players.
Use common sense. If something seems like it would be wrong, there's a good chance that it probably is.
Be nice to new players. We were all new at some point and time. Just because they're new doesn't mean you get to be a jerk.
Do not build in the tree farm or mines. This will result in a ban or jail, depending on the severity.
Do not hit people who are in a PvP area from a non-PvP area. Do not PvP other players and run into non-PvP areas. This will result in a kick or jail. PvP logging is also prohibited.
Do not camp. Camping wrecks the experience for everyone. Campers will be executed by guards and put in solitary confinement for a set amount of time, depending on the severity.
Do not carry contraband. If a guard sees it, you will be ordered to drop it. If you do not drop the contraband within 5 seconds of the initial warning, you will be jailed until you hand it over.
Do not use glitches or exploits to gain money or ranks. This will result in a permanent ban.
Do not give prisoners with a lower rank than you over $15,000. Prisoners should have to work for freedom, not have it handed to them. Loans are allowed, although just giving someone money because they're your friend is not allowed.
Do not attempt to escape the correctional facility. Using glitches or exploits to get around the barriers will result in a reset of all your stats as well as a 10 day temp. ban.
As always, use common sense.
Guards are in control of the prison. These users have the ability to jail inmates, inspect cells, and take contraband. You may apply for guard in this thread or on our site. In order to be considered, guard applications must contain this formatting:
IGN:
Your current rank:
How long have you been playing on PCF for?
Timezone:
Do you have a website account?
Age:
Do you got to school, work, or both?
What times can you guard? (1 PM-9 PM, etc.)
Have you been a guard on different prison servers? If so, which ones?
Which block would you like to guard? If you don't have a preference, just leave this blank.
Why do you think you deserve this position?
In order to apply for guard, you must meet the following requirements:
You must play for at least 20 days before applying.
You must be an A-Prisoner or higher.
You must be an active member. Being active sometimes will not cut it.
You must not have any previous enforcement actions taken on you in the past 30 days (for example, being permanently or temporarily banned.) Jails do not count.
Must be a mature individual. We do not judge on age, but we do judge on maturity.
If you're accepted, you will be moved to the "Prison Guards" group on our website and will receive your rank on the prison shortly. Once you have been accepted, you are required to read the guard guidelines on our site. Failure to read or follow the guard guidelines will result in a demotion.
If you've previously played on a different prison server and would like to be transferred to Purgatory Correctional Facility, our transfers are always open. Transferring will allow you to carry your rank from a different facility to our prison facility. If you would like to be transferred, please make an application that follows this format:
IGN:
What server are you transferring from?
Why are you transferring?
Proof of your rank (screenshot required)
We currently will transfer inmates from the following facilities:

If you wish, you may also transfer from other facilities that are not on this list, although we will not guarantee that you will be transferred. This is at a Warden's discretion.
If you believe you have been wrongly banned or you would like a second chance, please make an application that follows this format. You can also make a ban appeal here.
IGN:
Why were you banned?
Who were you banned by?
When were you banned?
Why do you think you deserve to come back?
Do you admit that the ban was your fault?
What was your rank before you were banned?
Do you have any other previous bans?
We will get back to you on your appeal ASAP. Please note that if you were banned for one of the following reasons, you may not submit an appeal:
