I'm with Oddball on this. The new brig is good. It doesn't handle releasing automatically, so you have to actually care about jailing somebody.
There is a ton of other more entertaining ways to punish bad players.
And when you really feel like jailing someone, the time it takes you to recharge your taser, and a little bit of prison trash talk, and the sentence is over.
You don't have to be all business all the time. The best I saw was some Hos (I forget who) sentencing someone to "the time it takes for some guy to break you out".
It feels like quite a few people -some Hos too, you know who you are- feel that security must be played straight and fair all the time. It's a game, like every other job. You don't need to care about every bad act you see.
Leave some shithead to street justice, if you want to run after traitors; or just play the hardass warden, but do it for fun, not because your role is "to make the station run smooth".
This post here is the best summary of how to play security right:
