	~~Spawning in as~~ a ~~prisoner is an unusual process. If you join at round-start, you will be where you are supposed to be~~ and ~~have everything you need to have to not get on the Warden's bad side. But if you join in after round-start, you will be on the shuttle as though you are~~ a ~~regular, law~~-~~abiding employee of NT~~. ~~Security and everyone else will be notified~~ of ~~your arrival~~, ~~so you usually have a small period of time to futz around~~ and ~~get to know the surroundings before~~ you ~~have~~ to ~~rush yourself to security. Don't expect an officer to greet you off~~ the ~~shuttle, but don't screw around on your way to prison~~.		Make sure to ask your heroic LEOs for a PDA and a headset (or even a station-bound radio). You do not spawn with either of these, and having these will keep you up-to-date on the latest cosmic horror casually snuffing out employees that are only two days away from retirement.

Finally, it isn't like the Prisoner role is devoid of action. You can, along with your fellow prisoners, engineer a jailbreak for example, only if given proper reasoning to. Breaking out because you've been alone for ten minutes isn't allowed, but an officer stealing all of your fun toys for themselves... Or if the station is going to hell and it's clear that it's not going to recover. If this has happened, the station's probably fucked either way, so there's no fear of you being a liability.

	If you decide that you do not want to be a prisoner anymore, bring up the possibility of Parole to the nearest officer that can hear you.

Parole is more likely if you make yourself a low-risk prisoner in for graffiti than a high-risk prisoner charged with genocide.

For some god forsaken reason, in a Space Station literally filled to the brim with opportunities, you've chosen to be the single job which has a severely constrained pool of options. Well, good for you! In fact, the Prisoner is one of the few roles which can actually work as intended for both new players and veterans, whilst still providing options for conflict.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Have enough common sense and basic morality in your head to not wordlessly stab the Warden to death with spears when they come to deposit a prisoner.<br>
'''Basic skills:''' Roleplay a bit, make up a backstory, converse with your fellow prisoner.<br>

==Welcome to the Permabrig==
[[File:Prisontop.PNG]]

This will probably be your home for most of the shift. You spawn in here with one other prisoner, without any backstory. There is a decent garden, a basketball hoop, a small laundromat, some sanitary facilities, plenty of dorm rooms, and a fully functioning bar and arcade. There is some food, along with a Microwave in the kitchen, but don't expect Nanotrasen to provide much for you. After all, you ARE a criminal. Besides that, there's two decks of cards, and a bag of dice to keep yourself somewhat entertained, and a private game room to entertain yourselves. Within this picture, there are all the materials for crafting a [[Makeshift weapons#Spear|Spear]] and conducting a jailbreak without dying. But, I ain't telling you.

Ideally, since you are the single job without any duties or obligations, you should be making a backstory for yourself to keep yourself sane. If you're one of the poor saps who spawn in without a cellmate, well, no luck in having much fun.

===The Case for New Players===
Regardless of anything, however, a very strong case can be made for the Prisoner being the single most friendly job for a new player, even above [[Assistant]].

# The role isn't timelocked, so you can just jump right in.
# Like an Assistant, you have zero responsibilities whatsoever.
# There's a good chance that your companion prisoners are experienced, and with nothing to do, they're usually open to showing you the ropes. Generally, even if your cellmate is an antagonist, they're not going to really beat up their only companion. Hence, you can put your trust into the other prisoner, without much fear of them stabbing you in the back.
# By being in the Permabrig, you're actually protected from the outside station by the rest of the security department. Whilst wandering around as an Assistant, there's a chance that you're going to get shot or stabbed by a friendly roaming [[Traitor]] or converted into a [[Blood Cult|Cultist]] or [[Revolutionary]], which can be disorientating. In the permabrig, you have all the time in the world to learn the controls and the sort.
# Security usually leave you reasonably alone, since the station is probably already degenerating into chaos a couple minutes in. If they're super bored, they might poke you every so often, but you are OOC protected from getting your shit kicked in without reason. If you don't spark shit, Security has their hands tied in terms of tormenting you.
# As an Assistant, in the mayhem and chaos, you often forget that SS13 is actually a roleplaying game. By being chained in a room, roleplay actually ends up being one of the first things that you learn, which is great!

== Spawning in ==
[[File:Prisonstart.PNG]]

Spawning in as a prisoner is an unusual process, as you'll be transported in your usual outfit, plus a orange jumpsuit into this room. Security isn't instantly notified of your arrival, so you usually have a small period of time to futz around and get to know the surroundings before the warden bursts in to curbstomp you to death.

Finally, it isn't like the Prisoner role is devoid of action. You can, along with your fellow prisoner, engineer a jailbreak for example, only if given proper reasoning to. Breaking out because you've been alone for ten minutes isn't allowed, but an officer stealing all of your fun toys for themselves... Or, perhaps a [[Random events#Prison Break|virus]] happens to bolt open the permabrig for you. Or you can negotiate with a passing [[engineer]] through the medium of paper and pen to disassemble your cell windows. Or well, if Security has fallen to the cult or revolutionaries, you might be freed and converted. If this has happened, the station's probably fucked either way, so there's no fear of you being a liability.

==Things to Do==
* Play cards.
* Mock the AI through the security cameras with a piece of paper.
* Watch as the AI hopelessly screeches at you through the Holopad.
* Grow plants.
* Dye your clothes so that you look like a hippie.
* Draw shitty drawings.
* Get to know your friends.
* [[ERP|Really get to know your friends.]]
* I haven't gotten around to adding more, too busy escaping into Cargo.
