Community Service for Prison

[Dazz]

If something like needing to stay logged on to complete a sentence  were to happen there would need to be more to do in prison and more people to interact with G6 wise I go to prison and either see Gruppe 6 beating the shit out of prisoners or the other way around as all we are able to do it clean tables, make smoothies, search boxes, do laundry and use the gym. None of which are really RP based but more a way of passing half your sentence before logging off. I myself can't think of many suggestions on the spot to but we do need more to do in there like jobs or even give us community service to do so we're out in the city but supervised by G6 so they have more to do.

for example scrubbing graffiti around the city, cleaning the beach of things like the oil tanker beach but for non respawnable items in different areas, maybe even picking up litter which I know seems stupid but it's RP based. I know the risk of being out and about as G6 with prisoners on community service would mean you could get robbed and the person set free but that would mean you'd have to find them as prisoners would be searched for phones so no GPS could be sent or friends/gang members would have to find them around the city on their own. 

I think that it should be scheduled a few times a storm because G6 seem to just walk around aimlessly in prison and don't really have much to do so this would be a good idea for them to do enabling them to still work for the prison whilst being around the city doing different activities with the prisoners and interacting with the general public. Using prison buses to escort people around the city to different locations to complete their tasks. I also think it should be mandatory for G6 to take the prisoners out and it somehow be logged so people know its being done and not just a throw away system that is wasted on people being lazy (that is if it were added).

I do think the prison system needs to be looked at, I get that prison is meant to serve as a deterrence but even so it is unnecessarily boring from a gameplay perspective, you'd be lucky to find a handful of prisoners or guards to rp even during peak times and the jobs there ammount to little more than clicking the same few buttons over and over. Personally my issue with community service would most likely have to be limited to low risk prisoners, as violent offenders would most likely attempt prison break, in scenarios like that I could almost imagine it being too easy even with security measures but then you'd have the issue that for the people in for non violent crimes, it would be unnecessary since by the time it could be arranged they would already be out. My personal suggestion is to

A) improve what you can do inside the prison, perhaps allow people to craft shivs, lockpicks and other makeshift tools.

and 

B) add some sort of parole system, maybe you could even have NHS psychiatrists evaluate prisoners and reduce their sentence if they're behaving well.

I personally would like this to, like example using the church as a community service, like getting the lawn mowers out, cleaning the floors or painting the walls etc , could go on their record, they could RP there men of god now and use that for parole or getting out of prison , countless things that could happen +1

@ricosky I think for low threat prisoners that should be like store robberies, dangerous driving, drug dealing and carrying bladed article as long as it has not been presented in the presence of an officer meaning they are not in danger. I do like your suggestion regarding the NHS adding a new role to them to affect different things instead of just having NHS when a prisoner is injured which I have only ever seen once.

Even gang members I would say were low risk depending on their crimes but I do think that they should have some kind of community service but with an increased police presence so they are secure. In terms breaking people out I would say its going to happen of course but prisoners would not be told where they are going or what it is until they are there and as stated phones would be taken off them some time before departing to ensure no one is alerted and would mean you would have to wait outside the prison in order to spot them being moved.

I think things like lockpicks and shank crafting would be decent too as prison breaks/riots would then be able to happen from the inside too. Imagine making yourself a shiv and taking a guard hostage to get out or killing him for assaulting you earlier and G6 units got into riot armour or police were alerted but used non lethal force to ensure prisoners are treatable in the infirmary because outright shooting them from the get go is shit RP and would ruin situations like that. I'm not saying dont put people down if they are running round killing people but if you outright shoot the prisoner then it's not really realistic is it.

Maybe even prison tattoos could be a thing too in some way shape or form? Like gang tattoos? being able to have a gang specific tattoo from prison that no one else can get who isnt in a gang or hasnt been to prison. Just some ideas but I think it would make people more inclined to serve a sentence and not go and play other games instead.

@FatherAugustus Get a chapelin implemented in the prison too that you could visit the reformed inmates in or even go in and talk to them about becoming reformed could create good RP for you and them that is if they're mature enough to not just try and beat you up like they do G6. There is already a picture of you in there why not be able to visit and change some dedicated players time in the server? 

Also whilst on the topic of this for those who have life sentences like I know old Grove members do it would allow them to actually come on their gang characters and see the outside world, I think after all the time they have spent cooped up in prison it would be nice for them to interact with people outside of the walls and make them feel human and not like the locals in the prison who are stuck there walking around aimlessly.

Possible ankle trackers to track the location of the prisoners when on community service and using the USB malware to hack the trackers giving it another use, obviously making it alot harder than that, maybe a really loud noise comes from the tracker and it keeps tracking for 5-10 minutes so that it's not overpowered. This could help with the community service idea by making it harder for G6 to lose the prisoners while outside the prison. Giving an incentive for the g6 and prisoners to do this such as money and reduced sentences would also encourage players to do this instead of going to sleep, which is the main issue of the prison system.
