d100 Prison Carousing

Obviously prison isn't fun or our whole society would be a prison. Some adventurers and especially thieves might end up in prison between adventures. Some players might find being a transvestite is totally ok some might not. Life choices are personal but in prison you might not get to make choices of your pleasing. Or maybe you do. One persons humiliating punishment might be another inmates pleasure. I just write tables I'm not judging you.

Actually my mum ran every prison in the state and I got to hear lovely stories at the dinner table. I was a tour guide in a prison for 4 years and have worked in them a bit mostly with youth detention. My dad worked with victims of crime and hostage negotiations and thought state should just kill em all. Grandpa spent 18 years in a Siberian gulag. I wonder if any of this was an influence on me.

In the 2000AD comic Slaine the heroes dwarf sidekick spent his treasure share on buying a prison so he could make money on bribes. One of my favorite Adelaide Gaol stories (jail for Americans) was the governor who live above gatehouse in 1800s got so fat he could not get down with narrow stairs and they had to lower him through removed windows to get him out when he died. Stuck in your home office smaller than a modern house for years and he ran the joint. 

Basically as long as you were imprisoned is same time as it takes you outside to throw off your paranoia and urge to beat on people who look at you funny. Some dependencies, scars, diseases, mental problems, deviancy, parasites might take other means to remove but clergy will help. Sorcerers and cults might claim to help and just get you new problems. A d100 Cult carousing might be good. Will do a table of non lethal punishments soon too. A companion to this and previous post on execution methods.
