possible +1 to this
Im saying possible as my only active criminal, Ariadne Kouris, hasn't actually been much affected by this- but i wouldn't want to spend time on her for like.. over six hours at maximum. The thing is, i'm very careful about her crimes already and what's on her criminal record isn't even a quarter of the criminal things i have actually committed on said character. If a criminal thinks smartly about how they go around doing things, i think they won't get the shitty sentences in prison we're seeing in this thread.... not counting the charges and tickets all us criminals had BEFORE this update- THOSE are definitely a right pain in the ass. There's still a reason i don't roll up and around drug labs in a car, but on a trusty dirtbike instead... although it might make sense with a car if you're cooking in a group, but still- if its just you and your pal cooking, think about taking one or two dirtbikes instead, like a Manchez or BF400.
If they keep this unlimited sentence thing, or if they reduce it to four to six hours max, i think they should also agree that the DOC guards need to actually be there and present with the prisoners both in the normal cell block and in solitary. My character Sophie is a guard at the DOC currently, and i myself KNOW we don't look in on them half as much as should actually be happening- and from experience on Kouris, the guards don't actually check up on you during solitary. i have spent an entire 120 sentence on Kouris with nobody even so much as replying to my /s 'shouting'. Most of the time, us guards at the DOC will sit at the outer Intake, or perhaps in one of the towers or go on an exterior patrol. If there's going to be longer sentences, i think us guards should be told or even made to check in on prisoners, and actually interact with them- it gets boring just interacting with your fellow prisoners that only seem to wanna action/fight rp half the time.
- also, one last bit for the people saying 'play poker to reduce your sentence', i don't even know how poker works so that isn't even applicable to me. suppose i could learn how it works, but then again, why would i learn how it works just for the sake of a game? plus i'm just a general dumbo that'll forget how it works after i'm released from whatever prison sentence i serve.
- ALSO, i've found out that 400 tickets only take 40 seconds off your prison time... maaaybe increase that? unless the amount of tickets you get from mining is decent, thats a bit extreme.
