 Punishments should fit the crime. Use your best judgement and try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Consider the following examples:
-''Robert Marshal, an assistant, is arrested for running into [[Medbay]] and taking a stethoscope. They've been very cooperative with security personnel.''

 To sum up, acting in good faith and treating prisoners fairly ultimately leads to more trust between security and the rest of the crew. Every incident is different and will have its own unique set of factors that ultimately determine the outcome. Security should be [[revolution|busting heads]] infrequently.
-===Permabrigging / Forced Cyborgization===
+===Permabrigging/ Permanent Labor Camp / Forced Cyborgization===
-Captain, Acting Captain or Head of Security (or, in their absence, Warden) permission is required to permanently lock someone up or turn them into a [[Cyborg]]. You do not NEED the Captain if the HoS is available.
+Captain, Acting Captain or Head of Security (or, in their absence, Warden) permission is required to permanently incarcerate or [[Cyborg|borg]] someone. Permanent incarceration and cyborgization are ''typically'' reserved for [[Space_Law#Capital_Crimes|capital offences.]] The [[Warden]] will handle these punishments, in most scenarios.
+Consider the crimes committed. Just because you ''can'' toss them in permabrig, doesn't mean you ''should''. Did they hurt others, or did they commit a [[Space_Law#Petty_Crimes|victimless crime?]] Is this their first offense, or are they a [[Clown|repeat offender]]?
+Permabrig procedures can be found within [[Space_Law#Brig_Procedures|space law.]]
+Permanent stays at the [[Labor_Camp|gulag]] are almost identical to [[Labor_Camp#Prisoner_Processing|non-permanent stays]]. For a permanent stay, do not set a limit on the prisoner ID.
-Punishment via throwing them into permabrig should fit the crime. Did whatever they did to deserve such a sentence affect anyone? Were they being harmful? Are they the kind of person who just comes back for more and more constantly?
+In order to [[Cyborg|borg]] someone, you'll need to have the [[Surgery#Organ_Manipulation|brain removed]], and placed in an [[Research_items#MMI|MMI]]. You ''can'' do this yourself, but it's better to have a [[Roboticist|roboticist]] do it.
-Permabrigging someone for stealing something and running away through secure areas vs permabrigging someone who's shot and killed people. One is a much less severe crime.
