It's useless, it's shit, it's only used by Shitcurity Wardens.
Hi, my names DryProfit. I tend to play on Paradise as my main server, I am mainly the Warden and sometimes the Hos or other Brig-Related Occupations.
We have this thing called the Labor Camp (nicknamed Gulag) in the Brig, for you new players or non-security players.
It's "purpose" is to let Prisoners serve their sentences via labor, earning "points" via mining.
I will logically list reasons why it's stupid.
1: It's only used in Life-Sentence. TG wiki has a point per crime system, but in PARADISE space law, there's nothing said on the Gulag. So Wardens can only use it in life sentence.
And when some poor new player gets a life sentence in the Gulag, they NEVER WORK. Instead, they plan to robust the next officer who arrives.
2: You may only Gulag one prisoner. Anymore risks robustness and death to Officers.
There's no "Airlock" like the permabrig has. So the moment you deport a prisoner into the Camp, you're automatically risking yourself if any other Gulaged prisoners are waiting.
Only instead of the Perma-Brigs similar trouble in this, they have a deadly weapon called a Picaxe which is a pretty damn robust weapon to give prisoners.
3: Nobody really uses it.
Problems 1 and 2 never really arise due to the fact that MAYBE once a round, a life-sentence guy will be sent to the LaborCamp (where he does nothing)
So In short, Labor Camp is an extra big Permabrig that gives prisoners robust melee weapons. Sweet
WHAT TO REPLACE IT WITH:
Removing that shitty thing will leave room for some new things. Possibilities...
Group Therapy Room: Prisoners and a Counselor/Chaplain/Therapist/BrigPhys/Physciatrist can have group therapies to lighten up their prison experience a little bit.
Counseling Office: Physciatrist doesn't always need to take prisoners to medbay, they may directly treat them in the brig
Recreation Room: Instead of people just leaving when they get a sentence over 10 minutes, they may... Uh do some shit.
Canteen: Cook can provide food to prisoners : )
COURT: some people think this is useless, most Wardens don't hold trials. But I think this would be a little more productive than the useless ass gulag
Solitary Cells: Often I find more than one disruptive / self harming prisoner, and need more solitary cells and straight jackets
Alright thanks for reading. Remember I'm on my iPad ATM disregard shit grammar and spelling please
