Labor Camp Procedure

[davidchan]

Currently there is no procedure in Security SOP, Legal SOP or Space Law to indicate appropriate Labor camp points for classes of crimes (except Capitol which are automatically permanent.)

I feel this is partially why Labor camp is so rarely used, aside from it's poor location/easy escape to abandoned outpost as it has no generally accepted limits on how many points you can assign to crimes.

The labour camp has been slated for removal for a while now it's just nobody has gotten around to purging/redesigning it, no real surprise it's got a legal blackhole too.

Working sec I think the reason it's under used is its just more cumbersome than perma. Perma is easier to keep track of. The warden and sec have enough going on that they can't rearly devote attention to guarding the camp. And you'd literally need someone guarding it all the time for it to be effective. I think it'd be really cool to use but sec is alrwady stretched so thin as it is. You'd need another person devoted to watching it.  NEW CLASS?! Maybe something to assist the over-worked warden?! Maybe add some (or one) Guard or Corrections Officer to help keep sec officers out in the station n help keep the brig running smoothly?

The Labor Camp is not viable.

The asteroid has no oxygen or pressure, and is filled with monsters. Sending prisoners there with no suit, no internals, and no way to defend themselves is effectively throwing them to the lions. It is just a matter of what kills them first. Suffocation, explosive decompression, or savage monsters. Take your pick. We can't give them all the gear they need, either, as they'd then be able to escape.

In order to be at all viable, the Labor Camp must be moved to an entirely new asteroid, one with atmosphere, no monsters, no random caves, etc. Oh, and an outer layer that prevents, or at least discourages, escape attempts.

Second to that, we'd have to streamline the process of using the labor camp. It should take minimal effort for them to be sent there, they should be able to do their work promptly, and they should, once their quota is met, be able to get released automatically, picking up their stuff along the way. The hassle for sec should be kept to an absolute minimum, and the labor camp should produce something valuable enough that security feels like they're helping the station by sending people there.
