Hello everyone, I'm just going to get straight into it.
Prison time is dead time, I know a lot of people will get sent to prison and just flyout because there's nothing to do in there except from search the same 6 places and clean the same 30 odd tables. Now I get that prison shouldn't be fun because its a punishment but it literally just kills any RP opportunities.
IMO prison time should be about reform, I know we have recently introduce community service etc via G6, however I have only ever seen one example of this being used.
What I propose is more ways to get time reduced from your sentence whilst also levelling up some skills, for example we could have a "Prison Shop" where outside players can come buy stuff from the prison shop for a set price. The prisoners can only donate to the prison shop in order to take time off their sentence so no monetary value will be received by the prisoners.
Some examples I have are (please fell free to add any in the comments below)
I must mention that the XP received should be at a lower rate than the outside as people could just use it to skill grind.
Fishing? placing a small pond in the prison so prisoners can do some fishing, level their fishing IQ and then donate the fish to the prison shop in order for a time reduction - could also double up as a panning area again with specific prison items that can be donated to the shop.
Woodcutting? If that's even a skill within the city, maybe a couple of stumps that can be repeatedly cut and donated.
Crafting? As we already know you can find sheets of plastic inside the prison so why not turn them into zip ties/ plastic bags and them to be donatable.
Harvesting? A small patch with some lettuce and onions.
Street Cred? We can already find processed cocaine, maybe we could sell that to the NPC prisoners not for money but for a chance of other prison contraband?
I just think a little prison shop would be beneficial to the community and would bring some more RP to the prisons, I think the shop should be structured like the scrap man for the outsiders so just like set prices so no one has to manage it.
Pros
Makes prison constructive
Will make people actually serve their prison time therefore leading to more RP opportunities
Brings something different to the city
Allows people to better themselves
Cons
A lot of Dev work
depending on the items that can be donated could possibly take some RP away from Nobels etc
