ADDITION TO THE JAIL SYSTEM: THE CONVICTED PoV & The Family
GENERAL
-
Crimes shouldn’t always be punished. Let the zois that commit a crime or an offense have the opportunity to run away, and get away from the police.
-
Zois that witness a crime or a criminal running away from the police could have the interaction to snitch to the police available.
-
There could be a mini game where the zoi who is suspected to be guilty of a crime can be interrogated. Succesfully winning the mini game would avoid jailtime for the zoi.
-
For certain offenses like car accidents and traffic violations that don’t result in the death of a zoi, vandalism and petty theft, there could be fines and home arrest as punishment instead of jail. If these offenses are repeated by the same zoi, then they would be sent to jail.
-
Zois can hire a lawyer to defend themselves and try to avoid jail or prison. When you choose to hire a lawyer you are given a choice between three lawyers:
Free lawyer: 40% percent probability of avoiding jail.
Average cost lawyer: 60% percent probability of avoiding jail.
Very costly lawyer: 85% percent probability of avoiding jail. -
When you are arrested, let us hear a police syren in the background while the loading screen is loading.
-
Interaction to “ask to give false alibi” to very close friends, lovers, and family members with high good relationship bars.
GOING TO JAIL: THREE OPTIONS
Not all crimes are born equal, and so I think they should be punished differently. What I propose is a system where criminals and offenders are sent to differents places: juvenile detention, jail or the penitenciary.
-
Juvenile detention: works exactly like the jail we have now, but it’s only for teenagers and they have a few hours a day reserved for in-jail lessons to continue their studies.
-
Jail: for minors, petty crimes like shoplifting, pickpocketing or public disturbances (fights on the street, vandalizing public property).
-
Prison/Penitenciary: for more serious crimes like driving over people and killing them, robbing from a house and attacking people in their houses while you are trying to rob them, or belonging to a crime organisation.
OPTION ONE: JAIL
Works and looks exactly like the one we have know, but with some added improvements:
- Bail system: when a zoi is sent to jail, they can pay a bail or call somebody they know to ask for bailing them out.
- Families are notified of a family member being in jail, and they have moodlets and conversations related to the event. They can be sad, nervous, angry depending on their personality and relationship with the jailed zoi.
- Jailed zois cannot use the smartphone, please! Smatphone option would be greyed out for zois, and all the options related to the smartphone unavailable.
- Alternatively, they have ONE call allowed per day. The can use a landline phone at jail to call one zoi a day among their acquaintances.
- Zois outside of prison/jail could plan and execute the jailbreak just as it is now to rescue the jailed zoi. That is, they could be able to work on the crack on the wall from the outside to help the inmate.
OPTION 2: PRISON/PENITENTIARY
- Prison would be a big instanced building with lots of cells, a dinning area, a leisure area and a patio. Maybe also a workshop area where prisoners can do a manual job for small money while in prison.
- There would be a strict schedule for when your zoi can be in and out of their cells, for when they eat, shower, or have leisure time.
- Imprisonment periods are from 5 days to two weeks, depending on the severity of the crime.
- Just like in jail, prisoners cannot use their smartphones, but they have the right to call one zoi a day. They can call anyone from their acquaintances list.
- Imprisoned zois can have two visits per week, lasting one hour, on set days of the week (Wednesday and Friday for example).
- Imprisoned zois can bribe the guards or gain their favour through friendship or flirting to get perks like extra call, extra visits, access to the smartphone for an hour, or stuff like pizza, coffee, and other useful items.
- Family members of the imprisoned zois are notified and have moodlets and conversations related to it. Their reactions and how their relationship is affected would depend on their personalities.
- Prison break: Bring able to work together with cellmates to break out of prison. For this you should build rapport with other cellmates or you can also make them fear your or respect you as a criminal to make them do your bidding.
- Zois outside of prison/jail could plan and execute the jailbreak just as it is now to rescue the jailed zoi. That is, they could be able to work on the crack on the wall from the outside to help the inmate.
**
OPTION 3: JUVENILE SYSTEM**
Works exactly like the jail we have now, but it’s only for teenagers and they have a few hours a day reserved for in-jail lessons to continue their studies. I propose the same additions that I proposed for jail.
AFTER JAIL/PRISON SENTENCES ARE OVER
-
Once the memory systyem that is coming is implemented, this would be an important memory recorded both in the zois moemories and their acquaintances. The moodlet associated with this memory would depend on the personality of each zoi.
-
Criminal records: for repeated offenders, we could implement a criminal record that would affect their job opportunities, reputation and relationships.
-
The opportunity for a zoi to have the pick up of another zoi that is being released from jail scheduled, be it a family member, friend or lover. This event would be triggered when the imprisoned or jailed zoi is released and the other zoi can go pick them up.
