Short description: Two changes to help Prison RP be more engaging! -With the new, more secure Visitation area, allow visits without a guard present. -Implement a realistic Job system within the prison. Detailed description: Hi! So, just two ideas I've been spit-balling to make Prison RP a little less of a grind, and to encourage RP on the inside. -Guardless Visitation I've personally had a lot of interactions with the current visitation system... it's not really fun. For anyone involved. The visitors have to sit and wait for a guard, a guard has to stop what they're doing to come stand in a corner, and the prisoner gets thirty minutes of engagement. It's a pain in the butt for not a lot of pay off! It also really hurts people with different schedules and time zones, which is quite a few players. But with the new Visitation area and it's security glass, I think allowing free visits would be reasonable! No smuggling or confrontations that would require a guard (and the alert system would be useful if something did happen; loud arguments, banging on the glass, etc.) Just a suggestion, with the higher security, it'd free up players to RP more with the incarceration system. -Prison Work Add a job or two within the prison! Like, a script job. The prisoners earn some Commissary money while RPing, it's something to do besides waiting in the common area for idle chit chat, and adds a dose of realism to the jail! Potentially include a mechanic where the prisoner reduces their sentence as well for their work? Increase the 3x multiplier to 4x or 5x while actively working? As for the script jobs themselves, three feasible ones would be; -Janitor: Keep the jailhouse sparkling! Something akin to the Garbage Truck script system; get sent to a location, perform the action (unclog toilet, sweep area, bleach showers). Actively RPing it all of course! This could also encourage use of some of the lesser-travelled areas in the jail, Showers and Chapel and what-not. -Commissary Clerk: Gotta get your ramen somehow! Script wise, it'd be like any Business job. Start shift, RP sales, a % of selling items, etc. -Laundry: Clothes folding, the ultimate punishment. But, akin to the Janitor/Garbage jobs, get assigned tasks and RP completing them. Start load, fold clothes, sort dirty stuff. That sort of thing. Obviously, not just any prisoner can get these allowances; have them apply for the jobs either IC or on the Forums. SD can check their records and make a decision. Adds some motivation to be a well-behaved prisoner! So the lady who had a fender-bender with a cop car isn't in the exact same boat as the repeated offender violent cop killer. Commands to add: Script job commands for the three jobs! /wash, /sweep, etc. Items to add: Nothing I can really think of! How would your suggestion improve the server? Add some depth, motivation, and realism to the current Prison system without requiring a drastic overhaul. Make it worthwhile to do prison RP! Additional information: I saw some other threads about Prison suggestions, but thought that a milder one would be a good step forward, because, as it is... no one really likes RPing jail time, which is a shame, because there's a lot of potentially cool stories from it. Thank you for reading, have a great day.

I 100% agree with this, thank you. ❤️

Yeah! Officers rounded up a few prisoners to wash cruisers last night! It was really cool. ... a way for prisoners to do that on their own would be pretty neat in my opinion. Folding laundry or mopping floors or w/e,

... but on-site labor in exchange for crappy benefits is realistic, a lot of prisons in the US do this in real-life. I'm not really talking sentence times, but what to do during your sentence. As it sits, the 'punishment' is entirely OOC. It just stops people from playing that character for their sentence, instead of RPing the consequences of whatever landed them in jail. Pressing license plates and making shoes aren't exciting, but, it gives some engagement for prisoners to have incentive to RP their mistakes. With something to do, they'll play the sentence, and character growth can happen.

I have to agree in some respects... I've only had some shorter prison stints, and the time just grinds along slow. Some way to kill time easier, or progress, would be pretty cool. If shorter sentences aren't really a popular option. Maybe on-site prison jobs for inmates? Commissary staff, custodial, etc? Prisoners can earn a little bit of money and have something to do. Shave time off their sentence with public service? From what I've seen, it's a majority of chit-chatting, murder, or chit-chatting about murder on the inside. (Side note; Gosh bless the guards who come and get prisoners involved with some RP. We got to clean cruisers last night! Yes, it was a lot of fun.) ... okay that's my two cents, bye. . _.

One third of this is one is just Kat's ass... ?

You took my line nerd and I'm incredibly flattered. <3

Following this nerd thread for nerds.

"Sobriety is a terminal illness... my thoughts, prayers, and pity to those without the cure." -Katarina Kaczmarek, 3AM coke binge musings, 2020 Only two things are entirely certain about Katarina the Dumpster Kitten; She loves inebriation, and would lie to the Devil's face for the laugh of it. A homeless junkie living out of the Beer City dumpsters, Kat's an unfortunately common sight to the Vespucci night life. She's often found trying (and failing) to enter various establishments, in search of booze, cigarettes, or anything else illicit she can get her willowy hands on. "-look, please let me have a drink... I'm just trying to hit the 'fast-forward' button on this miserable life. Skip the line to get my wings, feel me?" -Katarina Kaczmarek, Beer City bartender negotiations, 2020 Few people can tolerate her for long, and vice-versa. Typically, one's patience runs dry once she starts rambling about the Establishment and the Social Contract and Call Me Ishmael, usually under the influence of something. Kat's patience, however, typically disappears shortly after she's gotten what she wanted from them. Drugs, money, a ride, a favor. Kat's oddly verbose and extensive vocabulary gets her into about as much trouble as it gets her out of it. Coupled with a razor wit and poor survival instinct, she's had a few close calls in her time. In tandem with her nihilistic tendencies and placid disregard for anything serious, these traits make for poor bedfellows. "... why're you flashing a waistband gun? We're just vibin'... like, you're being a real dick noodle... oh fuck, cop, there's a cop! -be cool, put that shit up." -Katarina Kaczmarek, discourse with a very confrontational racist Davis gangbanger, 2020 At her core, deep down in her tangled roots, Kat's just a displaced youth with misplaced morals. Another intelligent girl who made too many mistakes to really go anywhere except down. Left to stalk the alleys and slums in search of some novel self-destructive experience. "I've never double-barreled before... ah well, curiosity killed the cat, you know. Let's make it a night to remember and a death worth talking about. Salud!" -Katarina Kaczmarek, moments before slamming back hard liquor and sleeping pills, 2020
