Suggestion Title: Prison area change, expansion, and jailing feature overhaul
Suggestion Description: This is a fairly large suggestion. The idea here will be broken down into 3 segments:
Map change:
- Add a table to the jail area
- Possibly make the area in the middle of the cells larger
- Make use of the currently walled off and very spacious jailers office, making it accessible and usable.
- Add an inaccessible booth at the end of the cells, featuring a glass window like the City Garage NPC is behind, containing a police NPC.
Prison Officer NPC functions:
- Releasing you from jail once your sentence is served.
- Should sell food and drinks at a large markup price.
- Should have a healing function to uncripple you for a hefty fee.
Functionality change:
- Uncuff prisoners inside the cells area, but whilst they are incarcerated, they have no access to phones, only having their fists (if guards are available), keys / unarmed.
- Punching people in jail will alert the warden, who can confine you back to an empty, preferably cell if needed via their police computer, Preferably a cell that is already locked and reserved for this purpose to prevent someone getting stuck in the cell. This will notify the player, saying "You don't remember what happened, but you were dragged to your cell for poor behaviour!" Without a warden, The option to hit people in jail should not be there. Players who are confined to their cells for the duration of their sentence will be automatically released upon their sentence expiring.
- Players in jail should remain there after their sentence expires, using the NPC to leave at their own will once they serve their sentence. Players should however be forcefully released from jail after 20 minutes from their sentence expiring to prevent jails being overcrowded.
- Possibly putting prisoners into a bright orange sweater and Polyester pants during their sentence, which will disappear when they are freed or broken out of jai? (Not necessary)
Players in prison should be able to perform the following functions:
- Eat, drink, use healing items, and smoke.
- Move freely around the prison area.
- Pay their citations whilst serving in prison.
- Possibility of allowing them to make phone calls? For a large sum of money of course, and only if they know the number they are calling without looking at their contacts.
The following functions will be removed from prisoners:
- Using, dropping, equipping or altering weapons they had on them.
- Crafting.
- Using their mobile phone.
All of these functions will be restored upon exiting the gated area of the jails.
New job: Prison Warden.
- Should be based in an office behind the jailer NPC area.
- Should have a screen monitor showing the jail cell area.
- Should have a /teamchat function only they can type in, which is visible to all on duty officers and prisoners. This is to speak to prisoners and warn them on bad behaviour.
- The job shouldn't require them to ever actually interact with prisoners but doing so can be an optional thing. As such, they will be given a nightstick and handcuffs.
- Should be tied into the existing PLPD and IA should handle misuse.
Maybe the possibility of breaking yourself out of prison should be given to the player?
Why should this be added?:
- PrisonRP
- Being jailed isn't sitting in a box for 10 minutes doing fuck all.
- Played another server with this feature and trust me, It was used and enjoyed heavily.
- Allows for more immersive experience.
What negatives could this have?:
- Some cringelord will probably try prison rape RP at some point
- A lot of changes needed
- Players intentionally getting themselves arrested in extreme circumstances potentially breaking rules just so they can RP in jail.
