Yeah. Not funny.
How do you execute prisoners in sandbox mode?

Eh, people should be allowed to voice their opinions, even if they are whacked out and never likely to happen.
I would like to be able to set my own parameters for execution (such as starting a riot, killing other inmates, all the way down to refusing to work in my sweatshop... I mean workshop) but I dont think that just picking a prisoner at random and killing them would be a good idea.

It's a simulator. About prisons. Chris even makes effort to have the start of the game put you down with how dark of a theme it's supposed to be.
And you're complaining that someone mentioned concentration camps?
Honestly, the designer of the prison doesn't have a say in it. A concentration camp is a prison, plain and simple. It's not okay to go around trying to get people banned just because the people are in the prison for a reason you don't like--it's not up to the person who runs the prison who goes in it, and the game isn't meant to be happy-comical-fun-land.

The game's dark mood regards a harsh (and morally ambiguous) penalty for a serious act, not deliberately killing people one does not simply like for stupid reasons.
If anyone has to polish up on differentiating prisons and concentration camps, please read here:
What is a prison? -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison
What is a concentration camp? -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_camp#Concentration_camp
Further infromation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extermination_camp
Quite often people think of movies like "the great escape" when talking of concentration camps. What you see there is a prison for prisoners of war. A concentration camp has nothing to do with that.
The game is called "Prison Architect" and I really do not want people around, who are drawn here by ideas of concentration camp. That topic is really not funny etc.

While you can't do it currently, I imagine the game (once they've added more features obviously) where if your prison has an execution chamber then you get sent prisoners for execution, no execution chamber then they don't send you those types of inmates. Maybe they'll have other bonuses for for having an exec chamber in your prison too.
The way that I'd like to see it in addition to the above would be that the warden can covertly put out execution orders to his guards to execute/assassinate/kill one of the prisoners (think Tropico 4 and giving the order to kill one of the people on your island), and then there would be an inquest because there was a death in your prison and it would all hook into the lawyer system as to whether or not the death was accidental or otherwise, and if you have too many non-accidental deaths within a certain amount of time then your prison is simply closed down, game over. Well, something along those lines is what I'd like to see anyway as the game is going to need much more interaction between the player and the game before they do the final gold release (IMO).

While we problably are going to get moral choices such as treatment of prisoners I think there'll be a limit. I didn't support this game to send prisoners to gas chambers and burn their bodies to save space (though I must admit a furnace would be interesting not only as a heating tool but also if you ordered gaurds to kill a prisoner and you needed a way to dispose of the evidence) I supported it because we'd build something along the lines of an American prison and see if it does well. Also as I've said in another thread the closest you'll ever get to a concentration camp in WW2 is a POW camp. IV would be hammered by media and random human rights groups for touching a subject considered untouchable.
Yes, that is a penguin with rabies. Deal with it.

Honestly I couldn't care less seeing prisoners executed knowing it was because they commited a crime to deserve it, I want that knowledge that I'm doing it for a reason. I don't want a game where you can take a group and slaughter them simply because they're your prisoners. There's a limit, IV knows they walk the line on a touchy subject with prisons. And a game where the purpose would be to detain and kill civilians en mass would be stepping far past it. So to summarize it:
-Killing convicts: Socially acceptable relatively speaking
-Killing civilians because of ethnicity or other factors: Not socially acceptable
