Suggestion: Credits / Bank

[Mudder]

Thanks to the workshops, there is now good revenue per day. But if you need money quickly for an expansion or a repair, you have to wait long for midnight.
At the moment you can easily edit the savegame, but it would be nice if there was an in-game feature: the Bank.
Here you can borrow money against daily interest, which will be deducted at the daily balance sheet as a fixed cost.

Je trouve que c'est une très bonne idée !

Just about to post this suggestion myself. My situation is a little different but I still need money quickly as well. I know it's probably down to my bad planning but I'm stuck in a loop of prisoners rioting all day then once I get paid at midnight all my money goes on repairing the damage they have caused. There just doesn't seem to be a way to get the cash to make a few improvements to keep them happy and calm everything down.
Maybe as well as loans you can agree to hold dangerous prisoners from another prison in solitary for a bit of extra cash? Or perform executions for another prison for a fee.

perform executions for another prison for a fee.

This seems like a good idea in particular, paraphrasing slightly, but even in the campaign, the CEO does say that 'we have contracted to do a job" this could possibly lead to a new 'death row' class of prisoner, where they live on the prison for a set amount of days before then being executed, afterwards the prison recieving the money as compensation for food and other expenses, as well as the payment for the execution

There's a mod out there that gives you access to a whole loan system...but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere. Perhaps someone else will have better luck.
