As the title implies, the prison should have a black market. It can include stuff such as shank, spoon, and a semi automatic handgun.
The prison is very bland for the inmates because half the time they go AFK because of the lack of activities and if they’re lucky, they can do soup or the exercise yard.
With this implemented, it should reduce the chances of getting a spoon if you do the kitchen and the spoon would cost the most. It will give correctional officers an excuse to constantly monitor the inmates instead of standing at the checkpoint. Adding on, should the inmates gang up and start a riot, it will give SERT and even FNG a chance to deploy giving the shields and grenades a use within the prison.
In conclusion, I think this should be implemented to give DOC more action and inmates some action as well rather than making the prison some boring meeting center. The black market could be a shady inmate hidden throughout the yard or in the day room.
maybe introduce smuggling mechanics? like there would be a 1-5% chance once you7 get arrested you have a glock or really weak weapon. maybe even inmate jobs, informant systems, escape plans, etc.
I wouldn’t say u should get spawned in with a weapon but, idk. Maybe if the suspect isn’t searched he keeps his tools when on prison team. Unless ofc it respawns the whole character
