Prison/Events

These are events that happen while the character is in prison. Some of them may also be influenced from the normal life of the character. They may affect your stats of behavior or respect, or sometimes relationships can get involved. Other events may only occur for eye-catching purposes and not have an effect on further gameplay, although that might not always be the case. Following the Prison Update, there have been a variety of possible events in prison that can occur under certain circumstances.

## Prisoner Encounter

Sometimes, your character may meet another prisoner from a certain location in prison. You can ignore them, compliment them, insult them, or assault them. The prisoner may return a compliment or insult, or assault your character, depending on the relationship and craziness: For example, low relationship decreases the chances of recieving a compliment from that prisoner, and high craziness may result in them assaulting you even if you committed a good action against them, such as complimenting them. You may also get insulted or assaulted even if you ignored the prisoner in much more rare and extreme cases. Assaulting them may also get you beaten up by a gang that they are in or have your sentence extended for assault (or manslaughter if you managed to eliminated the prisoner). Other prisoners cannot be sued like other assailants since prison does not have the activity to do so, but even after you get released you will still be unable to sue that prisoner. There is a chance that you may sustain a lethal assault from that prisoner and die from your injuries but luck usually varies.

## Prison Ward Encounter

Sometimes, your character may meet a prison ward at some place in prison. You can be respectful to them, compliment them, insult them, or assault them. The ward’s friendliness will be shown on-screen. The former choice usually causes a good interaction and increases your stat of behavior. Complimenting might not always work that way as low friendliess will most likely result in the ward ignoring you. Insulting the ward is definitely in sharp contrast and will cause a bad interaction, and assaulting the ward will get your sentence extended for attacking a peace officer.

## Prison Bully

If your character’s respect is low, there is a chance that other prisoners may mess with you. You can ignore them (decreasing respect and happiness), insult them, assault them, or call on your gang (if you are in one), As for the latter choice, if your gang has high notoriety, they may assault that prisoner for messing with you. Low notoriety will most likely result in them refusing to help you, and you may also be assaulted by the other prisoner as well.

Similarly, another prisoner may force your character to do something for them. You can do what they want, refuse to do it, insult them, or assault them. The former choice will lower respect and happiness, and refusing to do it may get you ridiculed by the other prisoner, especially if they have high respect.

## Prisoner Insulting

Sometimes, regardless of the character’s respect, another prisoner may insult your character (call them by a bad name). Similar to strangers insulting your character, you can forgive them, insult them back, or assault them. Both choices besides forgiving them may result in them assaulting you, in which if you survived, you can fight back, report them to the guards, or run away from them. For the second choice, the guards will either extend the other prisoner’s sentence, ignore you, or less commonly even reprimand you instead of the other prisoner, and have your sentence extended for wasting their time.

## Gang Request

Sometimes, a gang will ask your character to join. You can join them or refuse. Doing so will increase your respect and unlock an achievement. There used to be a glitch where a gang that you do not meet the requirements for, such as the Bitizen Mafia for characters with low respect, but this was patched later on.

## Drugs

Sometimes, your character can be offered drugs in prison, which you can accept or refuse. The chances of becoming addicted and/or suffering overdoses are dangerously higher, though, meaning further risks of dying, especially because you won’t be able to do anything (no rehab for prisoners) until you are released.

## Snitch

Sometimes, your character has the opportunity to snitch on another prisoner so you can get released early. After snitching, the guard may free you from prison, but other times the guard will betray you and not bother to release you. You may also run the risk of being assaulted by the other prisoner if they know you snitched on them.

## Parole

If your character has good behavior and/or has served a reasonable amount of years in prison without escaping, there is a chance you will be put on parole, in which you will be asked a question and must choose between four answers. If you answer correctly, you will be released from prison. The best thing to do is to restart the app if you are denied of parole, because it will refresh every year. Parole may also be offered if your character is in prison via notifications.

## C.A.R.E. Package

Sometimes, your character’s family members can send you C.A.R.E. packages. You can keep them, send the family member a thank you letter, or return it to sender. The latter choice will lower your relationship and may deny you of being sent another one during your sentence. Even if you chose to keep it, there is still a chance that the guards will confiscate it and beat up your character, which will usually happen if your behavior is low.

## Break-Up/Divorce

If you have not done enough conjugal visits, there is a good chance your lover may break up or divorce your character in prison. You can beg them to stay or wish them well, although the options to insult and assault them are unavailable as the character is behind bars. However, that also means these will be somewhat easier to fight. No matter how high the relationship is, these are almost inevitable.

## Death (Family Members)

While your character is in prison, family members can die at any moment. You will be unable to attend their funeral as you are in a different place, but for parents or spouses, you may still get an inheritance if your relationship was good.
