Basically, in Deadman Wonderland, a great earthquake occurred that took many lives and destroyed many homes and buildings. The tremors also unearthed red stones hidden in the ground. Those who came in contact with these stones gained a special blood-based power. The ability to shoot blood, the ability to harden and shape your blood in weapons, the ability to set your blood on fire, and so on. These powers are called Branches of Sin. Deadman Wonderland is a prison created to lock away prisoners but also to entertain people and distract from the disaster the earthquake caused. Every now and then, prisoners are forced to compete in a death course "game" for credits. They need credits to purchase "candy"; a bitter hard substance. You see, all prisoners wear special collars that inject poison into them. Candy is the antidote but only for a while. You need credits to buy more and also for your meals--otherwise you get horrible slop. Anyway, society would not actually approve of people being killed in such horrifying ways. So the people behind Deadman Wonderland tell the masses that it's just special effects. Unknown to the public are people with Branches of Sin. These guys are called Deadmen and, instead of competing in games, fight in death matches. Winner gets credits and other rewards, loser loses a piece of their body depending on what they spin on a wheel. They also are all nicknamed after a type of bird. Some of those Deadmen committed some horrible crime (usually murder) and were sentenced there by court. Some of them however are innocent and were framed/set up by the people who own the prison. For what purpose though...
