I think a cool addition would be the ability to have your forces work from inside prison, make the options limited.. Like, maybe he can try to recruit people while he's in there, form relationships, maybe even with the guards.. Maybe he can get sleepers to protect him during certain events, and the ability to recruit other criminals.. Maybe have different classes and types, like thieves of different tiers.. Petty thieves and bank robbers/high class art thieves.. Ton of gang members and crack addicts too, and of course your rare high class, high powered business peeps (Probably mostly automatons ) who went to prison cause they were taking money off the top.. I was thinking that they should be able to do different things while they are there, study books in their spare time or maybe work on their combat skills/work in the gym.. And of course, whoever you recruit will become active, free members when their time is up

Also, random events like a guy trying to sneak a message to someone and wants you to help him, maybe he'll owe you a favor.. Fights.. Moments where the Conservative dogs attack you, in the form of prison beatings from unruly, hateful guards (Or just mandated torture crews due to the prison laws being so harsh :p) .. Trying to not get SHANKED or SHAFTED in the showers :p

If you have the CCS after you CCS assassination attempts with contraband.  Would it be possible to have the prison as a safe house once your jailed liberal recruits the warden?

BUMP (Because I think this is a good idea and I want people to see it)

[FinetalPies]

Even if it just started with being able to write Liberal literature while in prison. (Free Speech laws allowing, of course)

[The Cheshire Cat]

At the very least it would be nice if you could give Liberals in prison general commands like with sleepers, where they'll try to accomplish certain things while inside like making contacts, building skills, or just laying low and trying to survive.

Something to counter that might be that a Liberal can only be given orders if they still have visitation rights. So if they cause too much trouble in prison (or are just inside for extremely heinous crimes), they might get thrown in solitary which will prevent you from being able to do anything at all with them, as well as take a more serious toll on them than prison would normally.

[bluwolfie]

Hell yeah, both of those are good ideas. The writing would be a good place to start.

I do think the direction of learning skills would be useful, hell if nothing else you should be able to go to the gym and make yourself tougher.. But it's a bit hard with the fact that stats are static unless you get more juice.. So maybe fighting skills or something.

[FinetalPies]

I think it would be reasonable to gain both skills and juice while in prison, depending. But pretty much no matter what you'd be losing heart. Prison should never really be a place you want to go.

Allowing your liberals to:
-Learn by correspondance courses or prison library;
-Founding Prison Gangs (Truth in TV: some prison gang started as political organisations), which could you give some cash and turn some inmates in LCS members when they're freed, and doing some networking;
-Causing riots (gaining juice but risking being killed by an inmate/guard/Natonal Guard;
-Being put to hard labour (C+/C), which gain you less skills than vocational training (L/L+);
-Working on appeals;

You know, recently IRL I had jury duty, and the defense lawyer is actually an ex-con, a former convicted felon many years ago, who studied the Law while he was in prison and after he got out he went to law school, took the bar exam, passed it, and he went into practice as a criminal defense attorney, something he's been doing for many years. He's actually not that good at being a lawyer, sometimes he says things that make his clients look MORE guilty instead of LESS, but he's one of the local lawyers who advertises on TV. But I guess he is pretty passionate about prison being a bad place that he doesn't want to see people end up in. Either that or he's only in it for the money, I don't really know. Then again if he were only in it for the money, he could make a lot more money by going into the more lucrative field of corporate law rather than being a criminal defense attorney. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention, this guy is willing to take ANY criminal case, no matter how heinous the crime. Whenever there's a murder, he's on the case, defending them. Although maybe he just tries to take the heinous cases to get more publicity so he can attract more clients. Oh yeah, and if he's your lawyer, everyone assumes you're probably guilty, since he's such a scumbag, and guilt by association and all that. But he still wins a fair amount of cases since he's so experienced and has been doing this so many years (he's like 80). I think he might be starting to get a little senile though. Anyway that is a real story about a real lawyer who I saw in action 2 weeks ago when I had jury duty. Unfortunately, I only saw the beginning of the case, I didn't make it onto the actual jury, there were like 30 of us prospective jurors and the ones who got called up were randomly selected, and I didn't get randomly chosen. It was a pretty interesting criminal case, too, about a nurse accused of physically abusing a disabled patient at a home for disabled people. The guy is apparently a quadriplegic who can't move any of his limbs, who needs nurses to bathe him, move him around, and do everything for him, and a co-worker observed this nurse hitting this guy in the testicles 4 or 5 times in the row for no apparent reason. Then again, I doubt he can feel any pain down there, being a quadriplegic and all. He may not even have been aware of it, or maybe he knew it was going on but didn't complain to anyone else there because he didn't think it was that big of a deal, I'm not sure. But he wasn't the one who made the complaint, it was a co-worker. Oh, and since I didn't end up on the actual jury, I didn't get to see what the actual verdict ended up being, whether this nurse (actually a former nurse, she got fired) got found guilty or not guilty. That was a total bummer, I really wanted to be a juror, but they never called my name... the slip of paper with my name on it never got pulled out of the jar full of slips of paper with prospective juror names on it, that the court clerk pulled out randomly to select jurors. Oh yeah, and the prosecutor, the assistant district attorney for the county, is this young guy in his 20s with a stylish goatee and emo-looking glasses, looks like a total hippie, when I first saw him I assumed he must be a public defender, but no, he's a prosecutor, apparently. An emo prosecutor. I bet he used to be a goth kid. Oh wait, goth kids and emo kids hate being mixed up, I forgot.
