Space Law

These are not guidelines, they are Security rules. Follow them. ((Security not following this space law will be dealt with))
Brig times may accumulate. However, may not exceed 10 minutes, after which time the prisoner may leave.
You may NOT strip prisoners and dress them in orange for sentences lesser than 5 minutes. You may however search them and return all legit acquired items back.
Security may confiscate items which maybe a hazard, such as Insulated gloves, as they are in rare-supply. Tool belts are not rare-supply, and may not be confiscated except in repeated offences involving the toolbelt (and other items).

A hazard is something that has the potential to cause harm.

You are not allowed to bedcuff prisoners. And if they are not a hazard, you're not allowed to cuff them either. Only keep prisoners cuffed if they are a hazard to them self or others around.

- - - More will be added. Feel free to ahelp and suggest new "policies".
