Slams Riddick's escaped from.

Topic: Intel on Riddick's 'Verse
I've been itching to get this down again.
Here's the list as I know: Mind you, most of the intel here comes from the Pitch Black and CoR movie sites. The "Black Box" re-enactment, the "Slam City" webtoon, and the "Hunt for Riddick" flash game all give lists of the prisons Riddick's escaped from. I've got screen caps of them.
The "Hunt for Riddick" game actually provides two lists. One of them, the first one from Toombs, shows the same slams that Johns provides as part of the "Black Box" data on the Pitch Black site. The second one is unlocked through the course of the game and is keyed to Riddick's DNA rather than his name.
This is important as it ties to the Pitch Black book that says Riddick's first trip to prison was "deep storage" after he ratted out on the Company over something that happened on Sigma 3 (See page 27 of Frank Lauria's novel).
Going by that unlocked info I deduce that Riddick spent his first "nearly 3 years" in deep storage (Which according to EFBB is triple max cryo containment), in this prison, accounted for by only a DNA sample. The Company wanted to lose him and the evidence he'd collected. Makes me wonder what happened...
Oh, I imagine you want the goods, huh?
Right. Let's work from the older stuff first.

Here you see the screen from the Black Box data found at the Pitch Black Movie Site (Check out my links on the left if you want to double check it)
Now here's Toombs data from "Hunt For Riddick" before the other records are unlocked.
And After... Notice the "Altiar Prison Network" on there? That's new.
So Here's what I've got:
Altiar is the mysterious location of Riddick's "Deep Storage" time before he actually killed anyone.
Other slams he's been to include Slam City (Ursa Luna), Butcher Bay, Hubble Bay, Ribald S. Correctional, and Tangiers. And, of course, Crematora.
I think it's safe to assume that Riddick did spend 11 or so hours at Ursa Luna while on the run from Johns... After he ditched him from the escape at Butcher Bay. It's likely Riddick took goggles from there because he lost his at the end of EFBB. As to if Cutter actually gave Riddick a shinejob or not, well, that's another blog...
