A thought occured to me while watching a Red Dwarf episode about prisons and justice, and it occured to me that if The Dealoer ever made a prison he would probably do one with thgat kind of effect. Heres' a summeration from the episode:

quote:

"There's this thing called the Justice Feild that...Well, it would be easier to show it. Commit a crime."
"Like what?"
"Er... I don't know. Arson. Set fire to the bedsheets."
(Guy does so. Instead of the bedsheets being caught on fire the coat he's weaing does)
"Any crime you commit happens to you you see."
(Guy notices his coat's on fire and hurridly puts it out) "NICE EXAMPLE MAN, NICE EXAMPLE! But I'm with you now. So if you steal something something of yours goes missing."
"Exactly. Try it."
"...No!"
"You see it works. Once they are out listening to law's second nature".


And the best part? In such a prison if he was stuck there, The Dealer's in his element. He could convince someone to try and strangle him and all they would do is kill themselves.[:D]

How would you make a prsion for super villains?

You know something, though? There are *so* many laws and with so much detail and length that in many cases it's hard to even know what's the law that's being broken, who's jurisdiction it is, and which government's law applies to the individual matter, let alone to design a complex system like that... I recommend a system of prison rules instead. (oh, and with certain laws it is difficult to have it occur to the person that's doing it. For example, drug trafficking)

A very interesting idea, though... Needs magic. Alot of it, with many sources both of power and foundation, meaning many different practitioners having to work together at once, perhaps in multiple disciplines... and that would present its own problem, especially if certain spells must be renewed and drain the caster actively.

I've already made a prison for super villains. The trick is to have power limiting clothing/suits on them, power negators in the room they are in, the room to be tightly sealed other than ventilation, plumbing, and food delivery (the food delivery system can have voice transmitors worked into it). Never let the prisoners leave their cells, have ceiling mounted automatic weapons in the hallways just in case you *have* to do that, have extremely trustworthy jailors/guards who happen to have specialized power armors and are well-armed themselves, and design extremely complex systems for entry and exit of the facility, including housing it so far underground that it could withstand a nuclear attack.

That was essentially the precursor to L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N..... It was a much less pleasant place to be. Also, certain cells were tailored to their inmates, just incase the power negation failed. After I left and the project collapsed, it was destroyed, and L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N. itself was eventually built, once S.C.I.F. was founded with the consideration that most Smashers lived in Super City, then.

Oh, I agree. Such a system would no doubt be complex and require a LOT of power. But I think when it comes to law a general idea based around typical things done in jail or principles of it would work, like if you riot it turns into a rout or something.
