The New Law is a government organization that has control over the entire country of Beheer. With this control they've created a publicized  punishment for prisoners -guilty or otherwise. This punishment is called The Arena, where clans, wild animals, and harsh environments run wild and change as often as The New Law wishes.

The Feeling Underneath by Gigi_washere
75 parts Ongoing
They were crushed to serve, protect, and aid people with the powers that were burned deep within their DNA. But some fires refuse to be extinguished. Two-Sixty-Eight is one of many male Artificial Humans - experiments grown in secret underneath the towering LGA Hospital. An ironic disguise. Though they are born with the bodies of teenagers, inside they are still children - innocent minds wrapped in weapons of flesh. But innocence is a liability and their creators waste no time crushing it. From the moment they open their eyes, the torment begins. Merciless training. Punishment disguised as progress. Commands barked by Suited and Armed men who demand perfection. Obey or bleed. There was no other option. But one man dares to care. Two-Sixty's caretaker, Joseph Collins, goes against protocol and whispers forbidden truths - trying to keep the human part of him alive. On the other side of the laboratory, the female AHs are spared no more mercy. Designed not for combat, but for something colder. Surrogacy. But behind locked doors, a flicker of resistance grows within Two-Sixty's heart. He gathers a handful of trusted AHs and begins to question, to hope, to dream of The Outside - a forbidden place, that if uttered, could result in Capital Punishment. And no one ever came back from that. They've endured the crushing long enough. It's foolish to yank a dog's ear too many times. Eventually, they will draw blood. Backed into a corner, the AHs bet everything on a dream never tasted: escape. But will they succeed or will the price of freedom be paid in blood? It only takes a spark to start a fire. And this spark is about to ignite hell.

Incarceration

28 parts Complete Mature

In the dystopian world of Madina City, officials are determined to enforce all rules and punish all offenders. So they've built Ranum Correctional Institute , where people, including kids, are incarcerated for even the most minor offenses. And no one know Ranum Correctional Institute better than Harriet Maxwell. The daughter of a former guard, Maxwell can expertly navigate the place - including its secret tunnels and corridors. After her father's death, Maxwell is determined to follow in his footsteps, helping prisoners escape the cruel life so many of them have not truly earned. But when Maxwell gets caught, she learns what it's like to be a prisoner herself. Now, like other inmates, she's locked in a tiny cell, released only for meals, and forced to play the game inside the "Sim" - a brutal virtual reality experiment designed to punish inmates for their "crimes." Much of the idea of the Sim had been to provide closure for the victim. The ability and legal right to exact revenge on those who had wronged them. The Sim gives ultimate control over another human being. And control, for many, makes them drunk with power. When guards begin forcing prisoners to play more frequently, Maxwell realizes that "the game" has other motives.
