I was reading the Prisoner career last night and I liked it quite much. However, I was thinking about some options to further make the life of miscreants (or wrongly accused innocents) far more interesting:
1) Penal Legion: you have been offered the chance to join the military in lieu of your imprisonment. If you refuse, increase your parole threshold by +2. If you agree, join the Army or Marines next term, but you suffer a -2 DM to Survival rolls on your first term in the military as you are put in a Penal Legion sent to particularly dangerous missions. If you survive, you win your freedom. [or maybe even make this involuntary? You get sent to the Legion, no choice given...]
2) Transportation: you have been offered the chance to go to the far colonies in lieu of your imprisonment. If you refuse, increase your parole threshold by +1. If you agree, start the Citizen (Colonist) career next term on a far-away colony world...
3) Experiment: You have been offered the chance to participate in a dangerous experiment in order to hasten your release from prison. Roll END 8+; if you fail, roll on the Injury table; if you succeed, reduce your Parole Threshold by -2 and gain the scientist as a Contact. [or gain Psionics? an Augment? random stat modifications?]
