[Suggestion] Nightly ramble

I noticed that some prisonners have the Stoical trait, or in other words, isolation doesn't bother them. But even the toughest can be cracked somehow, which is why I want to suggest a rougher Surpression way; Nightly Ramble.

Inspired after Shawshank redemption and Prison Break, a nightly ramble is that one guard opens the cell of their target during the Sleep phase, and rather abusively disturb their sleep by beating them up. In the movie, even them were traumatized by it after being all tough-buy with the isolation. This is what I would like to suggest, of course with the counter-effects of a potential DEATH, if not having a serious risk factor.

I remember watching a movie where the Stasi would force information out of prisoners by flickering the lights on and off during night hours, the prisoner would grow insane from not knowing what time it was + not being able to sleep according to a normal schedule.

Not saying we should allow torturing inmates (more than we can already ), but there should definitely be some ways to counter legendary prisoners and otherwise tough ones; other than locking them up and having them destroy their cells every day.

This is not a legal method for breaking a prisoner. The game does not include outright illegal options on prisoner treatment.

There are things you can "accidently" do in the game that cause bad things to happen to your prisoners; but from a game standpoint it assumes you are just stupid and did those by mistake. Screwing up too badly does eventually lead you to failing the game.

They aren't going to put in anything that lets you choose to break the law openly (only fail conditions where you can screw up by being an idiot and not building your prison correctly/safely)

Really? Ya sure about that? Permanent solitary is considered torture in most first world country's. Feeding them once a day? illegal. Working them 12 hours a day? Illegal. Letting my guards beat them to death. Illegal. Locking people in 1x1 rooms for a 80 year sentence. Illegal.

I'm gunna stop there otherwise its gunna get tl;dr - but the point is that you can run a torturous prison quiet easily in the game. Don't see why having people roughed up at night it such a big step.

Basically I think this game should be similar to Tropico in its direction - wannta run a socialist paradise? go head. Wanta run a totalitarian military regime? Sure why not. A capitalist neon wonderland? Done and done.
