JAIL_GUIDELINES

Many clans will find the need to take and hold prisoners. Please follow these
guidelines. If you have any questions, contact the RPC or immortal staff.

WHEN A CLAN MAKES AN ARREST
A prisoner held in a jail cell may be incarcerated for 7 days, max. Prisoners
should log in at least 4 of the 7 days during their normal playing hours to be
available for roleplay. Players should contact the RPC about requesting
roleplay from a clan. If the prisoner fails to log in for 4 of the 7 days, a
new set of 7 days will begin. Jailing clans are required to post arrest records
on the message terminal.

PRISON ROLEPLAY
Prisoners should offer roleplay opportunities during their confinement by
informing the RPC that they are available. Barring an IC emergency, jailing
clans are responsible for responding and providing roleplay to the prisoner.
Sniping, stunning, blackjacking and injecting do not count as roleplay.
Prisoners who act hostile or aggressive in jail should expect to be roleplayed
with less as a result of their actions.

PRISONER EQUIPMENT
All clan prison cells will have a locker room. The prisoner must be offered the
opportunity for a courtesy locker to store gear not considered contraband. If
the prisoner is not cooperative or refuses to store the gear, ownership results
to the player in charge of the arrest. It is the clan members' responsibility
to determine who is in charge of the equipment. If the prisoner is released by
the clan, they must be allowed to access the locker.

CONTRABAND
Clans reserve the right to confiscate contraband, including weapons and
explosives. They may also keep sensitive items of strategic importance, such as
datapad contents, navcharts, keys, etc.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
If a clan issues the death penalty for a prisoner, it must follow the
guidelines laid out in HELP PERM. If the RPC should find a death penalty perm
illegal, the character will be restored to the captors' jail cell and an
Immortal note on the message terminal.

LENGTH EXTENSION
Clans can request an extension beyond seven days for prisoners. They must file
requests in advance.
