Make security "age restricted"

[Sundance]

so how about we give the brig swiss cheese security and then have the warden be the one poor underequipped fucker to try and keep everyone in line

In all seriousness, the issue with the warden on other servers is because the brig is so damn tight that it renders his job pointless. He's meant to stop prison breaks and keep the brig/sec area in tip top shape when 90% of the time it's fine so he ends up going braindead in his office of guns he cant use because it's security level blue.

On goon, his job would be a whole lot less pointless actually as he doesn't have access to guns and the brig/sec is normally a hotpoint for traitor/shithead behavior.
Him being under-equipped with the brig the way it is will just end up in:
[149.9] Warden McAwful stammers: HEEELLPPP IN BRIIIIIG
So adding a warden will just add to the shitheap that officers already have on their plate. No.

In contrast to this, making an officer guard shitheads is also kinda bad, when there's chaos ravaging the station.
If there's about 2 officers on the station, and you have a dork in the brig, and your other officer needs back up do you
A) Stay and watch the prisoner, the other officer can handle himself with his peashooter of gun?
B) Back up your officer because if he dies, then you are totally fucked and the prisoner who broke into the bridge ain't worth it.

Most people will choose B)
The problem with B) is that the prisoner shithead that busted into the bridge will break out in literally 2 minutes and busts your brig in the process, so you no longer bother arresting people with minor crimes because the brig is broken and you cant be bothered to fix it when you have 99 problems and clowns ain't one.

You know you can fix this glaringly obvious problem with a glaringly obvious solution: Make the brig more secure.
