I don't have many positive experiences with Jailbird. One encounter in my memory was one guy resisting arrest to the extent we thought he was an antagonist. Didn't even give up once we had arrested them and hurt them a little, and overall just frustrated the security team as he wouldn't sit still to talk, and instead kept running. While this was a relatively niche case, as this usually doesn't happen, the thing I see most is Securiton being broken by jailbirds, then complaining when they are detained by security for destroying officer beepsky (it's hard to tell if this is IC or OOC sometimes). I have seen some good come out of it, some antagonists using it as a step in their escalation, but generally in the vast majority of cases, they are simply unmarked for arrest after a short talk with security and maybe a ticket.
As the crimes don't count as in-round actions, officers are likely very hesitant to act upon them in any significant way, likely due to escalation rules, I read and agree to the notion that we should remove major crimes from it, or let people choose to select their crimes that fit their character using a little menu to allow for backstory expansions. Could also simply mark them for parole as well to prevent the securitron issue and allow security to escalate a little more comfortably while keeping it all in character.
