Suggestion Make JailRP More Immersive
In detail, explain your suggestion: Currently, when someone commits a crime, things are very basic. Its Stopped > Handcuffed > Warranted > Arrested > 5 Mins > Freed. Its not realistic, its not immersive and most importantly it isnt a deterrent for committing crimes. Why pay a fine when you can afk for 5 or 10 mins to grab a snack and then get right back to it?
Instead of simply imposing longer sentence times (which are a part of this suggestion), JailRP itself should consist of more than having prisoners sit in a cell. There are shower rooms and a cafeteria that never get used as well as a courtroom that's only ever used as a hiding spot in raids. We should use these places to make JailRP a part of the gamemode instead of just somewhere people sit and complain in OOC for 'unfair arrests' and such.
Why should this be implemented? The Jail process is very automated, robotic and external. People don't feel the consequences because they just teleport in and out, having sat about for a while. This update to JailRP could be combined with an update to the arrest processing, eliminating the teleportation and having police officers manually arrest, escort, process and free prisoners themselves. Everything becomes a lot more realistic and things like DirtycopRP and SnitchRP and CourtRP could gain alot more depth.
Yes, the automated process is quick and easy, but it isn't realistic. Yes, we don't need everything to mimic life, but something like this would really improve RP on the server. It means more work for the police force, but thats not necessarily a terrible thing.
I'd love to hear criticisms and improvements and such as you + or - Support; just please keep everything friendly, no one wins if an argument breaks out
If you don't want to provide a reason for you + or -, thats fine, thanking for showing your decision anyway

- Prison sentences are elongated to a minimum of 10 minutes, with a max of, say, 20
- Jail guards, whether they be an actual job, police officers using /job or an outsourced firm, regulate prisoners, keep them on schedule (like, Cells, Freetime, Lunch, Showertime, Education etc.), quell riots using non-lethal means etc.
- Prisoners can contest their arrests through the courtroom, with parole hearings and court sentences. Citizens can be used as jury's and reporters can film the events. Death sentences can be handed out for murders or 'unpatriotic acts' (aka dictators).
- People can visit friends and relatives in the jails, riots could break out, jail breaks can occur, prison gangs could start; a bit optimistic but i'm just listing what could happen, not what i expect
