Stormcage Containment Facility

Template:Infobox Organization Stormcage Containment Facility was a prison planet in the 51st and 52nd century. River Song was a prisoner there. (DW: Flesh and Stone)

In the 52nd century, River escaped Stormcage to warn the Doctor about the Pandorica opening. (DW: The Pandorica Opens) For reasons that are, as of yet, unknown, River returned to Stormcage in the 51st century, and was later released under the custody of Father Octavian, who needed her assistance in a mission involving Weeping Angels. When their mission was over, River was presumably returned to Stormcage, though she did hope she had earned a pardon through her actions. (DW: The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone) Since a younger version of River was in the Stormcage the following century, it is possible that she wasn't given a pardon.
