Prison Comes To Sl

I HAVE A DREAM! Secondlife you take two seperate islands out at sea and on each Island Build a Maximum Security Prison..One Mens..One Womens..If you are suspended from SL, everytime you log on you are in a pennitentary where you CANNOT TP yourself out of. In prison there could be various things to do like learn to script which volunteers from the free world could teach...or whatever..the SL prison experience would be a way to stay in the game instead of waiting for your suspension to end..This could also be an end to banning in that instead of being banned you get a longer (much longer) sentence..The variables are too many to list.

No access to inventory, no IM, and nothing to wear but prison stripes... hmmmmm.

I kinda like it but would you really want to give the griefers better script-fu?

I'd think just build, no-script, no-fly would be better. With perhaps the ability to take into inventory but not access normal inventory.

Shall we discuss the real problem with such a thing?

You are putting a group of semi-like-minded people together, who have just been made irate because someone is 'punishing' them, and made a club out of them.



I expect to see coordinated griefing attempts using 5 or more members within a few days of this being implimented.

See what I mean?

A "punishment place" has been brought up many times before, in the LL office and on the forums. I think it would be a good idea if it could somehow help the offenders lose interest in their griefing metagames.

I'm not sure what the "feature set" would be that would be that would help make that happen. It seems to me that this hypothetical "prison" should be less interesting than the rest of SL, but not 100% useless. Certainly it should not interesting enough to encourage people to intentionally grief just to visit it.

Hmmm... perhaps a probation on bail system could be implemented, such that a premature return to "prison" would forfeit the bail. Dunno... more ideas?

Non-stop streaming david hasselhoff music that they can't turn off might do the trick.

but what if they're from Germany?

Prisons are actually becoming the new mental institutions since a lot of funding has been taken away from asylums. This means the mentally ill have to commit crimes in order to get the proper treatment they need.


So maybe in SL, all of the mentally ill people (look for the neologisms and ridiculous paranoid delusions) will have to commit TOS abuses to get the counseling they need.

hmmm, good point! Tiny Tim music instead?

I think a prison sim should be no-script and no-fly abut allow building. It's difficult to mass grief by simple building

Unless there are physics enabled.

OMG i had this idea too, i mention in the welcome area.. LOL i had this idea way back then.. LOL

Awesome Idea!

In a game I used to play they put you in prison and you had to answer 100 questions from a NPC about the ToS and if you got one wrong they made you start all over again!

The real hard core offenders had to wear a striped suit and ball and chain once they got out.

I think the prison idea is great!!!! If I were to ever get suspended I would love to spend my time in prison learning how to make shanks.

All griefers should be confined to Orientation Island. Problem solved.

Maybe they could have neg-rate deathmatches in the prison yard!

Ok - so who's doing the feature proposal? I'm out of votes

It seems to me that they would have more opportunity to colaborate for after they get out? Also I can see some using this as a badge of merit.

What about fines for infractions, similar to a scale of traffic offense fines, in addition to a point system based on severity of infraction.

People feel it when their pocket is affected, both in RL and SL. If the member's account balance is insufficient to pay the fine, payment could be deducted from stipends as they are acquired, or however the account increases. When infraction points reach a certain level, fines can increase and/or suspension occur.

In A Tale in the Desert, game masters were able to send players who violated the game rules to a separate "jail area" where they were required to remain for a period of time. My friend was banished to this area for 3 days once for using a program to auto fish. When he logged onto his account during his incarceration, he was frozen in this hole like area where he was unable to move or participate in the game. He never used that program again.

Just send them all to Gypsy Moon! They will turn into much better people!

Prison? Fines? Stripey suits? Stupidity. Grief=suspension or ban. Plenty good enough. Leave prison to the RPG's

I want a prison!! Co-ed though right? Right???

I'd start a drug ring, manufacturing narcotics from extracted deadly spider venom.

Thats the thing about prisons:
