Panopticon Prison

If you commit a crime in Freedom City, and get caught, brutalized and killed by the police, you will be sent here. Serve your time, find the appropriate terminal and pay your fine to get out immediately. Prison might be harsh, but it has its benefits; it's a good place to grind craft and locksmith for example.

Upon getting in prison, you will notice a new implant - Panopticon Cortex Bomb. You should be able to guess what it might do if it sets off, and you will get it regardless of spawning in the clone vats or walking in. If you decide to turn yourself in, you can do that by walking into the prison while being wanted; but you can't carry any weapons, armor, or containers with you. But you might get a skilled friend to hand you something from the outside...

Beware, though. Other prisoners may be hostile, or in desperate need of sex - and they won't ask nicely. Rumors say that Panopticorp has been experimenting with what they think they could be a solution to the criminal problem. Also, it is said that some prisoners have set up a fighting ring.

You wont starve in here, as you can get food from the only slightly outdated prison labour program.

Panopticon is located in Gangland: to reach it, exit Freedom City from the road just north of the Helliday Inn, go west and north at the first intersection, and voila - there you are.

Benefits in Prison

Not the gay kind

If you find yourself in prison, you are more than likely going to be stuck there for at least 20 minutes and maybe much longer unless you decide to pay the fine. So you have a few options of things to occupy your time:

• You can up your crafting skill by using the license plate press downstairs.
• You can find schematics for lock picks upstairs in one of the cells. Cells are usually locked but they will open periodically.
• You can use license plates in conjunction with the schematics to create lock picks, and then grind out your picking skill on the locked cells upstairs.
• There is a weight set on the second floor that you can use to increase your brawn skill. For further information on working out, check out the Working Out entry, by LochLain
• Some prisoners have useful knowledge, and may be willing to teach you a thing or two for a fee. Try to find them.
• There's a phone and phone book available to make prank calls with.

License plate press

• All you have to do in order to use the press is go into the room with the press on the first floor and use the command: assemble license plate with license plate press
• Do this as long as you want to build up your craft skill or to build up a stock of license plates for creating lock picks

Stat gains may be slow , but its something to do if you are stuck in prison with nothing better to do. Of course if you prefer you can just rape and murder the other inmates. It's really up to you.
