The problem is that the game will just turn out to be too preachy, and it'll break emersion within a second of you being sent to prison. To really educate about this kind of issue in a game is going to take a lot more than a TV-Judge (who, by the way, doesn't send people to prison on his TV shows) with a budget. We talked about this this week on the games-and-industry podcast Visiting The Village

…that…could actually be good. Which is weird.

On the other hand, he’s doing it for educational reasons and not to make a good game, so it almost certainly won’t be good.

” We may see young people who make the wrong choice and go to prison and are assaulted repeatedly (in this game) ”
what kind of “wrong” choice will that be I wonder. don’t fuck with your government ?

I always wondered how judges could justify sending people to a place where they could be raped. Now I know they don’t give a shit.

Its true, the only thing stopping the world from falling in chaos is the fear people have of prison shower rooms.
This could actually be pretty intertesting having a game seeminglessly continue after you’ve been caught.
