Jail

[mellow pawn]

I think it would be neat to have a jail. A case where someone is arrested, you could visit and talk to someone on the other side of the glass. Talking to them for information would be cool and add immersion.

Instead of people vanishing, this would give a place to house them for eventual release and increase the lifespan of a city as right now it'd limited to the number of starting people.

Small time arrests like the contracts to grab random people for the cops should end up here. Probably even eventually being released or shipped off forever depending.

Killers should also end up here for a short while before being sent off forever.

In addition, it would be nice for the player character to be arrested, if they break laws. (Instead of immediate execution like now)

We mentioned in another thread the possibility of time passing and cases being unresolved due to time. But it could also be done for being arrested by the cops. 😄

Breaking out of prison would be so fun!

Just as a side thing. I could see breaking out and being wanted. Maybe even changing identity but that's a stretch.

Let ME drag the dirty murderer to prison myself

In addition to that: Maybe you need to speak to an inmate to solve an case. So you get yourself arrested and try to establish contact

Or you pay the enforcers for a prisoner visitation. (For fair prices of course)

I think talking to them through the glass on some cases would be good to not made a jail interior. If they made an interior then maybe some cases you need to be on the inside. That's neat to think of the possibilities.

Maybe just a phone call

I think personally though having a full interior could he too much. So I like the visitation more.

Have the prison be some island Alcatraz you don't visit and just call there?

I like the idea of it being a simple room with a glass window or two would be easy enough. Calling is another neat option, which would cost money.

Maybe a bit of cash per prompt to simulate expensive jail phonecalls? XD

if a jail exists could be interesting to get the whole case of 'Help I'm in jail but I didn't do it! Find out who did' type of thing

Proving innocence sounds super cool.

Really love this idea. Was thinking about submitting a request for something like this. It would be really nice if criminals didn't just vanish and actually went somewhere.
