{{Quote|This is the Belle Reve Non-Human Interment Division. For over fifty years, only those at the uppermost levels of security clearance are aware of its existance.|[[Amanda Waller]] to [[Rick Flag, Sr.]]|The Collywobbles}}
'''Belle Reve Correctional Center''' is a maximum-security prison built for incarcerating powerful superhuman, high-skilled or [[Metahumans|metahuman]] criminals and a black site operation for [[A.R.G.U.S.]], located in [[Louisiana|Terrebonne Parish]], [[Louisiana]]. It houses the inmates selected to participate in [[Creature Commandos|Task Force M]]. 

==History==
===Non-Human Interment Division===
In the [[1970s]], the Non-Human Interment Division was founded to house the non-human prisoners of the prison, whose existence was known only to high-ranking members of the government.<ref name="CCS101"/> Among the prisoners who were eventually incarcerated were the [[Bride of Frankenstein]], a temperamental zombie created by [[Victor Frankenstein]];<ref name="CCS102">{{Ep ref|CCS102}}</ref> [[Alex Sartorius]], a radioactive criminal;<ref name="CCS106">{{Ep ref|CCS106}}</ref> [[Weasel]], an anthropomorphic weasel who was wrongfully imprisoned for the alleged murder of eight children.<ref name="CCS104"/>

[[G.I. Robot]], a [[World War II]] robot soldier who was imprisoned after massacring neo-Nazis;<ref name="CCS103"/> and [[Nina Mazursky]], an amphibious metahuman who was wrongfully imprisoned based on her appearance.<ref name="CCS107"/> Other incarcerated metahumans included [[Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man]], [[Shaggy Man]], [[Fisherman]], [[Crimson Centipede]],<ref name="CCS103">{{Ep ref|CCS103}}</ref> [[Congorilla]], [[Nosferata]], [[Khalis]], [[Orca]], [[Chemo]], [[Egg Fu]], [[Hyena]] and [[Bug-Eyed Bandit]].<ref name="CCS104">{{Ep ref|CCS104}}</ref>

===[[Project Starfish]]===
[[A.R.G.U.S.]] Director [[Amanda Waller]] eventually founded Task Force X, a special operations team made up of prisoners she recruited on Belle Reve. In 2021, Waller recruited a lineup in an operation called [[Project Starfish]] on [[Corto Maltese]] under the leadership of Colonel [[Rick Flag, Jr.]], which included [[Weasel]], who survived falling from the [[Sheba]], but was recaptured by A.R.G.U.S. and returned to Belle Reve. The squad's operations were later publicly exposed by [[Leota Adebayo]], leading the [[United States Congress]] to ban [[A.R.G.U.S.]] from using humans prisoners as special agents.<ref name="CCS101"/>

===Task Force M Recruitment===
Following [[Circe]]'s [[Attack on the Pokolistani Gas Station|infiltration]] in [[Pokolistan]], [[A.R.G.U.S.]] director [[Amanda Waller]], along with [[Rick Flag, Sr.]], visited Belle Reve to form a new Task Force lineup, with the purpose of protecting Princess [[Ilana Rostovic]]. The new group, called [[Task Force M]], was composed of several non-human inmates with enhanced abilities. They included the [[Zombies|zombie]] known as "[[Bride of Frankenstein|The Bride]]", the amphibious woman [[Nina Mazursky]], the radioactive [[Metahumans|metahuman]] [[Doctor Phosphorus]], the military android [[G.I. Robot]], and the monstrous animal [[Weasel]].<ref name="CCS101">{{Ep ref|CCS101}}</ref>

Following Task Force M's role in preventing the disaster in [[Pokolistan]], [[Amanda Waller]] authorized the formation of a new lineup of [[Creature Commandos]], restructuring the non-human division, much to the team's gratitude. The [[Bride of Frankenstein]] became the official leader, with the new lineup consisting of [[Doctor Phosphorus]], [[Nosferata]], [[Khalis]], [[Weasel]], [[G.I. Robot]], and [[King Shark]].<ref name="CCS107">{{Ep ref|CCS107}}</ref>

{{Quote|I mean, Peacemaker went to prison for four years and I had to keep up the fight by myself.|[[Vigilante/Peacemaker Kidnapped|Vigilante]]|Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double-Feature}}
In an alternate reality, [[Peacemaker/Peacemaker Kidnapped|Christopher Smith]] became an extremist vigilante known as the "Peacemaker", killing all those who represented a threat to peace, leading to his imprisonment in Belle Reve due to his morally unethical and violent actions, serving four years in prison while his partner [[Vigilante/Peacemaker Kidnapped|Adrian Chase]] continued his fight on his own until he was released.<ref name="PPTVEDF1">[[Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double-Feature|''Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double-Feature'', Issue 1]]</ref>
