The "Prisoner Diving Gear" (PDG for short), is a modified standard-issue diving backpack outfitted with a remotely detonated modified shotgun shell that works underwater being pointed directly at the users neck.
In 1962, during the excavation and construction of the Hadal Blacksite, a major problem were the convicts being used for labor trying to leave the Let-Vand zone. The problem wasn't so much that they tried to leave, as when they tried to swim up and out of the zone, they'd get crushed by the sudden pressure change. The problem came from having to constantly get new convicts, as majority would try to swim away. The PDG was designed as a deterrent. If a convict tried to swim away, stationed guards or HQ could flip a switch and the shotgun would go off, killing them instantly. After this little modification, escape attempts dropped by 98%.
Over the years, the PDG has improved drastically. Before they were just built to work in the Let-Vand Zone, but now it's designed for and can withstand 1200000 studs depths. Previously, after detonation, the gear would be considered lost as the corpse sank too fast to the bottom of the trench before the gear could be recovered. Now, in the event that the shotgun is detonated, the backpack will automatically disconnect from the corpse of the user and float to the surface, where it can be picked up by patrol boats and be reused. They can also be detached remotely from the users back, leaving the former user to drown. It saves a shotgun shell, but it's not advised as it's considerably more inhumane. It should be noted that certain audio waves and specific signal frequencies can trigger the PDG to go off without input, or block it from detonating entirely.
It's highly advised that trigger-holders operate on a "2-Strikes and you're out" system. Depending on the severity of the act committed, however, their PDG may be detonated on a first offense. If the Prisoner in question cannot be communicated with, or if to show an example to a group, their PDG may also be detonated on a first offense.
Below are the listed quotas that permit use of the PDG:
