History
The Raft was a Maximum-Maximum Security wing prison that was located near Ryker's Island Maximum Security Penitentiary and was operated by S.H.I.E.L.D.. (New Avengers v1 #1)
An attack from Electro caused the power systems of the prison to be damaged allowing all the supervillains to be freed from their cells. (New Avengers v1 #1) Despite the intervention of several superheroes, at least 42 supervillain in-mates managed to escape the prison during the resultant chaos. (New Avengers v1 #3)
During the Civil War, Spider-Woman received intelligence that indicated that Captain America was not dead but kept detained at the Raft. The New Avengers were sceptical about this information but decided to investigate and arrived at the scene only to learn that it was a carefully constructed trap by Iron Man. Doctor Strange cast a spell causing all the Pro-Registration heroes to see their fears allowing the New Avengers to escape. (New Avengers v1 #29) When the Skrull's began their Secret Invasion, they released a technological virus that targeted key areas around the globe including the Raft that resulted in its prisoners escaping confinement and starting a riot at the prison. (Secret Invasion v1 #1) Following the Skrull's defeat, many of their number were captured and imprisoned at the maximum security prison of the Raft. Director Norman Osborn had his Thunderbolts interrogate several of them who were killed in order to gather information on the whereabouts of the kidnapped Danielle Cage. (New Avengers v1 #49) After the Siege of Asgard, Director Osborn was arrested for his actions in the devastation where he was sent to prison at the Raft with him placed in an entire floor by himself in sub-basement level 7. (Dark Avengers v1 #16)
Following the Phoenix crisis, the X-Man Colossus surrendered himself to authorities for his actions during the event. This saw him being transferred to the Raft where Wolverine attempted to have him released through normal procedures but was denied. Cable dispatched his X-Force team to recover Colossus from the maximum security prison with Boom Boom providing a distraction by getting arrested by a S.H.I.E.L.D. patrol to get access into the facility. (Cable and X-Force v1 #6)
Overview
Its location underwater served as a security measure designed to prevent escape. (New Avengers v1 #1)
It contained prison cells that covered eight different levels. Prisoners were encased in thick steel metal Adamantium-lined cells. Special equipment was present that allowed the neutralisation of super-powered criminals abilities. (New Avengers v1 #1)
No civilian visitors were allowed without a super-powered agents as a chaperone. An army of highly-trained and fully armed agents were stationed at the Raft to guard the prison. (New Avengers v1 #1)
There was a security field surrounding the entire perimeter which detected anything that crossed the line whereupon the system went under lockdown leading to guard boats being deployed. (Cable and X-Force v1 #6)
