Terminal Island is a prison under the control of The Weyland Corporation which hosts Death Match a televised pay-per-view competition where two dangerous convicts are chosen and then forced to fight to the death or submission. The prisoners are given access to weapons or defense items to use during the fight by stepping on a marked plate in the arena. Luke meets the men who eventually become his pit crew in the Death Race: Lists who annoys him by over-analyzing everything Goldberg and Rocco. The host of Death Match is September Jones a former Miss Universe who lost her crown due to allegations of having a sexual relationship with all of its judges. She now works for The Weyland Corporation to create profit from the pay per view subscribers of Death Match. When a convict tries to stab Lists (because of his nature and weakness as he was convicted only of swindling) Luke takes it upon himself to defend him.
