True, but I do like this idea as it would give you more control over your prison.

No, executions are't to be used at the convenience of the warden. Now that doesn't mean I disagree entirely. If you could send a prisoner to court and assign your lawyer to accomplish certain objectives(extend sentence for assault, death row for killing staff members, etc.) and then there'll be a chance of success based off of the charges and your lawyer skill. Though you shouldn't have a chance of executing a prisoner for trying to escape or other relatively small charges compared to capital charges.

Yeah, being able to use some kind of Law report to have your staff lobby for or against a prisoner would be a nice touch. But it would completely ruin the verisimilitude if the warden could arbitrarily execute prisoners. Not even the most sadistic wardens in any prison film have that power: they always exercise their meanness with excessive solitary punishments, which we can now do. Verisimilitude accomplished.

This is a great idea. Full support on that, and it gives a use to a lawyer too.
edit: Plus, I have a particularly troublesome prisoner, I also don't feel like waiting out those 32 years. Just sayin'.

Yes, absolutely. It should be simulated in some way, but not too directly, and there should be a cost (not necessarily monetary cost) and other consequences to deal with, such as public image and government approval.

In the meantime, there are several in-game methods of manipulation with the use of electricity, water, and fire to "accidentally" kill prisoners, just like you can in The Sims. Have fun!

Bad idea, as said prisons and wardens do not decide who gets the chair and people would just abuse it anyway there needs to be some sort of rules set in place and yes i know its always fun to kill someone in a game but abusing something just makes it boring imo.

As for the court idea, i believe but dont quote me on it that some prisons have there own court system where they deal with some incidents within the prison and add punishments like they will add some jail time onto there sentence then send their decision off to the court and get it added on (not sure if it can be appealed but bet it can) also they can have benifits taken from them liek they can not use the phone, store or work etc.

My worst fear has come true: the internet has discovered the word 'verisimilitude'.

Anyway, the Warden in Shawshank kills Billy from Ally McBeal (probably not his real character name) by luring him out into the yard where he gets shot for 'escaping'. Sadistic punishments like non-court-sanctioned execution (in other words, murder) should be that sort of thing, to underline how you're being evil and circumventing the system, rather than steepling* your fingers like a bond villain and saying "Mmmyes, take this one to the electric chair.. mwahaha."

(And BTW OneEyedShark is just amazing )

You need to make this a thread (?) it self

(Thanks )

Guys, stop replying. Just add Tarenty and HockeyMike 24 to the idiot list. Or should I say, retarded 10-year old 1, and retarded 10-year old 2.

Maybe at a staff meeting. You know, trying to open up with the henchmen. Listen to their concerns: better snacks in the vending machine, the broken air hockey table, how he dropped Stavros through the trapdoor into the piranha tank. He's here to listen.
