This new need could introduce alongside a new need for décor in the prison (and a use for bookshelves
I understand that "It's a prison, not a hotel!" but the environment bar could be fulfilled differently (and have different effects) for both prisoners and staff. For example:
Prisoners
Needs
- Using grass rather than gravel in the Yard
- Brick walls instead of concrete
- Wood, Ceramic, Mosaic, etc.. floors instead of paving, concrete and metal
- Windows
- Bookshelves
Consequences
The consequence for ignoring this need could result in a rise in anger/risk, but not by a large amount as most of the other needs would be more essential.
The consequence for fulfilling this need could result in a decreased chance for inmates to commit any misconduct and/or an increased chance that they would participate in programmes.
Staff
Needs
- The above
- Potted plants
- Water coolers
- Coffee tables
Consequence
The consequence for fulfilling this need could result in faster research times and/or less time needed for staff to rest.
Let me know what you think below. Thanks
