History

On 21 October 2016, Callum Lynch was scheduled for an execution for the murder of a pimp, and was housed at the facility. He was visited by Father Raymond in his cell for last rites. After reading the Bible and understanding that Lynch was not interested in religion, Raymond asked him what he would like to hear at the hour of his death. Lynch then told priest about a poem that his mother used to read him, "After Apple-Picking" by Robert Frost. He recited to Lynch until the prison guards came to take him to the execution chamber.

The guards then arrived and took him to the execution chamber, and after being injected with a powerful sedative, he later learned that his execution had been staged with the help of the Abstergo Foundation, a Templar-run initiative led by Dr. Sofia Rikkin.
