Colored jumpsuits?

Postby side.dish » Sun Feb 03, 2013 1:04 am

As useful as it is to know what your inmates are in for, aren't you missing the point of prison jumpsuits by having an array of different colored jumpsuits? I realize real life prisons don't strictly go for light orange(Some use it for newbies, as I understand) but still, we should be able to either set the jumpsuit color for our inmates or have the default light orange.

I believe it was mentioned somewhere we would eventually be able to manually upgrade and downgrade prisoners based on what we observe and consequently they would be assigned different colored jumpsuits. Later I would like to be able to be able to set colors and access of those colors based on everything from race and ethnicity if the people I'm taking in are divided along those lines to gangs and other group/orginization alignments so that I can set the colors to something that clicks in my head as being a member of the Sheepsbend gang (I've no idea if that's a real gang I'm just making one up to prove a point).

Example: Lets say I'm running an international maximum security prison and I'm taking in terrorists, if I have a bunch of nationalists from one country and I get another group of nationalists from another country that's at war with the first one I'm going to make sure those two groups stay away from each other by assigning them two seperate colors and setting the accessable areas for them separate either by the time in which they go there or by it being separate areas entirely.

Note: Now that I'm proofing it I'm so tired I completly forgot why I wrote the example but will leave it there in case tommorow when I wake up I realise what it was for.
Yes, that is a penguin with rabies. Deal with it.

All great ideas Chris.

I too hope they implement user control of colors. Makes organizing easier.
