*Freed inmates wish they'd stay in jail*— Stilwater Gazette newspaper headline

## Overview

Continuing on from the events of the previous mission, the Stilwater Police Department are preparing to release several members of The Brotherhood.

Playa manages to destroy all the vehicles transporting the soon-to-be-free members of the gang before they reach their drop-off points. Maero returns to the Phillips Building and attempts to threaten Dane Vogel into helping him again, but Vogel rebukes him and shows his hand: a group of Masako armed with assault rifles. Maero notes that Vogel's security guards look more like a private army, foreshadowing later events, but nevertheless leaves. Vogel warns Maero he'll have him shot on sight if he ever returns, and also adds that Ultor has taken control of the boat carrying Maero's shipment. As Maero leaves, he states that the boat will "never [...] make it to shore."

### Story

Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available at Newspaper Clipboards.

Former members of the Brotherhood have learned the hard way that freedom isn't free. Shortly after receiving a full pardon from the city, Brotherhood members being escorted from the prison island to the mainland were assaulted by members of the Third Street Saints. It's unclear why the Saints assaulted the Brotherhood, but it is assumed to be in retaliation for recent attacks by the Brotherhood on Saints controlled property. No survivors have been reported.
## Gameplay

The objective of the mission is prevent three buses and four boats loaded with prisoners from reaching their drop-off points to release them.

Destroy the three **prison buses** before the Brotherhood are released
Start by taking down the convoy of three buses nearby. Each bus behaves erratically and attempt to drive away once it is shot, so concentrate on taking them down one at a time. A sufficient amount of ammunition brings each vehicle down quickly - to save time, ignore firing on the Five-Os and each bus when it bursts into flame, as it explodes shortly thereafter. Destroying all three buses gives the 3 units of The Brotherhood Notoriety and at least 2 of police Notoriety, and using Forgive and Forget may make the mission a bit easier.

Checkpoint
After destroying the buses, there is a phone call. The next objective does not start until after the phone is answered, and the mission checkpoint is before the phone is answered.

Destroy the **boats**
After answering the phone call, there is now a choice between using a Miami boat nearby or a Wolverine fighter plane at Wardill Airport. Although the Wolverine fighter may sound interesting, it certainly makes the mission more challenging due to its loose controls and the difficulty of accomplishing strafing runs on the boats. Furthermore, it only takes one accurate rocket from the RPG Launcher to instantly kill Playa inside the Wolverine.

Regardless, the enemy boats go down even quicker than the buses due to their low health and the little cover available in the open sea.

Success
Once the four boats have been destroyed, the mission ends.

## Newscast

**Jane Valderamma**: "*Today members of The Brotherhood who were released from prison found out that while the law aquitted[sic]  them, justice is a blind and spiteful whore. As the newly released men and women were being driven to be released, the leader of the Third Streets[sic]  turned these vehicles of deliverence[sic]  into municipal coffins. I'm Jane Valderamma, channel 6 news.*"

## Trivia

* "Jailbait" is slang for a person who may be considered physically attractive but is younger than the legal age of consent.
* During the opening cutscene to this mission, "Early Parole", Jane Valderamma ends her newscast with a mention of "Jack". She is most likely referring to Jack Armstrong, who she co-presented newscasts with in the first *Saints Row*, but does not return in *Saints Row 2*.
* In the ending cutscene to this mission, "Fool Me Once...", Dane Vogel overlays a photo of Shivington, hinting at his future plans for the neighborhood.
* Also in the ending cutscene, Maero comments that the Masako look more like a private army than security, which they later become in "Picking a Fight".
* In the newscast for the mission, Jane Valderamma refers to the 3rd Street Saints as the "Third Streets".
* The military Wolverine may be kept from this mission, either when playing the mission for the first time, or through a Newspaper Clipboard replay.
* Police Five-Os guarding prison buses do not chase Playa unless the guarded bus is destroyed.
* The Brotherhood gang members inside prison buses wear their normal clothes instead of prison outfits.
* If a Miami is used to destroy prison boats, Oppressors fly above them. If a Wolverine is used, Tornados escort them instead.

## Transcript

### "Early Parole" cutscene

**Jane Valderamma**: "*In a surprising turn of events several members of The Brotherhood are being released today.*"
**Jane Valderamma**: "*A previously thought open/shut case turned into a fierce legal battle as several high power attorneys fought tooth and nail for their client's freedom. Curious about the court proceedings, I spoke to Chief of Police Troy Bradshaw.*"
**Troy Bradshaw**: "*My personal opinion on the trial doesn't really matter, they were found innocent by a jury of their peers.*"
**Jane Valderamma**: "*So you think they were guilty.*"
**Troy Bradshaw**: "*I'm sorry Jane. Listen, I have to get back to work...hey, why don't you try talking to Dane Vogel.*"
**Jane Valderamma**: "*Mr. Vogel, what's Ultor interest in the trial?*"
**Dane Vogel**: "*Ultor has no interest in the trial other than to see criminals get put behind bars.*"
**Jane Valderamma**: "*So there is no truth to the speculation that the Brotherhood's lawyers are in Ultor's pocket?*"
**Dane Vogel**: "*Jane, we've donated millions of dollars to the Stilwater PD as well as rebuilt the shattered community of Saint's Row. I understand that everyone likes to pick on the big corporations, but this latest groundless attack on Ultor's integrity is just ridiculous.*"
**Jane Valderamma**: "*Behind me the men and women loading up onto these buses are being given another chance at freedom...but the question remains, are we also giving them another chance at a life of crime? I'm Jane Valderamma, Chanel 6 News...back to you Jack.*"

**Maero**: "*My problems are your problems...or do you need some fresh air to remind you.*"

**Maero**: "*Your security guards look more like a private army.*"
