It's been mentioned, but it's worth keeping in mind that changelings can break cuffs instantly. And to what Nihisohel said, the port a brig is pretty much the only way to get criminals to the station when they're on any other Z level.
I'll be honest, this might be more of a Classic thing, but I haven't really had issues with the port a brig. But this is coming from an RP perspective. There are plenty of ways for someone to just kill you or prevent you from using your PDA before it comes down to detaining the criminal for transport. If anything, it'd just make handling self antags a scosche harder. The other thing is, once the port a brig is gone, its gone. If we have someone brigged and they bust out, it means we either held them too long and it broke or we were so busy with other stuff going on that we didn't remember to process them.
