You can drop drugs and alcohol around other prisoners too, and they'll run right over and grab it (given that there's no guards around.) You can fuel their addictions and undermine their reform programs in a very slow manner this way. I've turned perfectly well-behaved prisons into madhouses with th...

They can even promote you to lieutenant. I was horribly confused when I was wandering around the visitor wing for a while looking for a lighter when the entire gang just walked up to me and stared all of a sudden. It was pretty creepy, until I realized that they probably thought I was organizing a p...

And here we are again. Escaped in 17 hours with only my starting gentleman, a pair of scissors, and a lighter.

For example, I try to avoid killing people wherever possible - with the exception of the prison's warden, ...

The problem is more with the strength of the reputations, rather than the weapons. Try your method with zero reps and you'll see how balanced it actually is from a neutral standpoint. Personally, I think it should be harder to become the baddest dude in the prison than trashing the classroom and the...

They're based on two things, I've noticed: Sight, and Proximity. Fog of War works in a very strange way, and if (for instance) I run to my cell, pass a guard, and punch my toilet because that's just the bad dude I am, he's going to hightail it to my cell and beat me with the baton. But if I sit ther...
