I don't like off-station crimes and I can't describe why

Jailbird gives a trait point right? It should probably be made neutral if people are regularly circumventing the downside of it.

Actually, it costs a trait point, it doesn't give you one. Iirc it was done that way to specifically to avoid having tons of people just pick it.
However, since it just costs 1 trait point, and everyone gets a free one, it's basically free if you don't care about other traits.
