History
The prison is named after Thaddeus Hoggarth, the Senior Adjudicator at the time of its contruction. Hoggarth was known as a no-nonsense, hard-nosed judge who delivered harsh sentences to those who deserved them. The initial workhouse was designed to punish criminals through work, something for which Hoggarth was a proponent. And the prison remained a workhouse until 946 BTG, when the riot occurred.
The destruction of the riot, and the effect on the general populace of Lawcrane led to a desire to see the prison made more harsh, more of a punishment. King Tendale Torgaro also felt that the prison needed to be much more harsh, and funded the reconstruction. The final construction of the prison was completed in 939 BTG and began being populated shortly thereafter.
Among the most notorious residents have been Fal Alathic, the serial killer who used his victimes teeth for jewelry; Cephur Odo, who tried to lead an uprising against the Royal Family of Orsholon; and Bafon the Vile, who was infamous in Lawcrane for his running of the Calaun crime syndicate.
