PA A28 Policy

The Policy Tab is found in the Reports menu, bottom right corner, and is a combination of prison regulation options regarding Discipline and Nutrition.

Discipline

All misconducts fall under one of 10 incident categories.

• Destruction
• Escape Attempt
• Attack Prisoner
• Attack Staff
• Murder
• Serious Injury
• Intoxication
• Found Weapons
• Found Tools
• Found Drugs
• Found Luxuries
• Complaining (console and mobile only)

For each misconduct you are given the options to search that prisoner, search his cell, and impose punishment. Punishment can be set to nothing, lockdown, and solitary. Punishment duration can be set in half hour increments. You can also increase the prisoners security, from low, medium, max, and super-max.

Nutritional

Variety - how many types of food our prisoners will get.

• None - only cabbage
• Low - add potatoes
• Medium - add bacon
• High - add eggs

Quantity - how many food items your prisoners will get.

• Low - 1
• Medium - 2
• High - 3

Notes

Long or harsh punishments can give the prisoner the suppressed status effect.

I find medium variety and high quantity gives many prisoners the well fed status effect.

Cost table for nutrition variation. (Per prisoner)

	No Variety	Low Variety	Medium Variety	High Variety
Low Quantity	$1	$2	$6	$10
Medium Quantity	$2	$4	$12	$20
High Quantity	$3	$6	$18	$30

Parole Cutoff

Prisoners have a 'Re-offending Chance'. You can use the Parole Cutoff to decide at what point you will not take a risk paroling a prisoner.

For example, you can set the Cutoff to parole anyone with a 35% or lower Re-offending Chance, or take a risk and set it to parole anyone with a 65% or lower Re-offending Chance. Note that for a prisoner to be paroled, they must serve at least half their sentence.
