# Rehabilitation — the post-arrest loop, wired
*The warden work that finally drives discipline, reform, and parole. Source in
`Source/Justice/Corrections/`.*
Classification, discipline, deterrence, and parole always had their **maths** — a grade over the
record, a reform score punishment moves, an order climate, a release decision. What they lacked was a
**trigger**: nothing in play called them. Reform never moved, so classification never re-graded and
parole never fired; the only thing that raised the colony's order was a punishment nothing invoked.
The post-arrest half of the loop was real code with no way to run it.
Rehabilitation is that trigger. It gives corrections the same treatment Ward gave psychiatric care —
a **prisoner interaction mode**, **warden jobs**, an **alert**, and an inspect readout — so a warden
actually reforms a prisoner over time and paroles them when they have turned a corner.
---
## The two modes
Both are non-exclusive prisoner interaction modes (the shape Prison Labor and Ward use), so they
stack with each other and with recruit / reduce-resistance.
| Mode | What a warden does | Result |
|---|---|---|
| **Rehabilitate** | Runs counselling sessions on the prisoner | Reform rises, the reform track fills, colony order rises |
| **Parole when reformed** | Releases the prisoner **once they are eligible** | A paroled colonist, back in the colony |
Set **Rehabilitate** alone to run the programme and parole by hand when the alert fires; set **both**
for a hands-off "reform, then release" pipeline. A prisoner flagged for parole who is *not yet*
eligible is simply not acted on — the warden waits.
---
## A rehabilitation session
A warden walks to the prisoner and counsels them for ~1250 ticks (about 20 in-game minutes), Social
being the active skill. On completion (never on interruption — the credit is a follow-on toil), one
session does three things, in `CorrectionsUtility.RunReformSession`:
1. **Corrective discipline** — `Discipline.Punish(prisoner, harsh: false)`: reform **+0.10**, and the
punishment is recorded, which raises the colony's **order** by `+0.12`. This is the deterrence-up
half that punishment alone never triggered — visible corrective justice deters everyone else.
2. **The reform track** — `TreatmentProgram.AdvanceRecovery` advances `Institution_Reforming` on
Core's shared treatment engine, by `0.34 × cell quality × skill`. It is the visible progress bar,
and it **decays** (`−0.08/day`), so rehabilitation has to be *sustained*.
3. **A memory** — the prisoner feels counselled (a small mood lift).
| Input | Range | Source |
|---|---|---|
| skill factor | `0.5 … 1.0` | warden's Social level |
| cell quality | `0.5 … 1.5` | `TreatmentProgram.FacilityQuality` (room impressiveness) |
| reform / session | `+0.10` | `Discipline.Punish` (fixed) |
| order / session | `+0.12` | `Justice.RecordPunishment` |
Reform reaches the parole bar (`≥ 0.30`) in roughly **three completed sessions**, faster than a bad
cell or a poor counsellor fills the visible track — so the "Ready for parole" alert keys off the real
gate (`Parole.CanRelease`), not the bar.
---
## Neglect — the teeth
A prisoner you flag for rehabilitation and then never attend **hardens**, exactly as a ward you don't
staff does. `MapComponent_ReformNeglect` measures the days since the last real session; past **two
days** of neglect, reform falls `−0.15/day` and they resent it (a mood hit). The hardening lowers
reform *directly*, not through `Discipline.Punish` — neglect is passive prisonization, not an act of
visible justice, so unlike a session it must **not** raise the colony's order.
Attend the prisoner and the clock resets; flag them and walk away and they slide back toward the
record that put them in. "A reform programme you don't staff is worse than none."
---
## Parole — the release that stays
When a rehabilitated prisoner clears `Parole.CanRelease` — reform `≥ 0.30`, security grade
`≤ Medium`, not already pardoned — the **Ready for parole** alert names them. A warden set to Parole
then processes the release (`CorrectionsUtility.ReleaseOnParole`):
- marks the **pardon** on the record;
- clears the prisoner hold so a former colonist is a **free colonist again** — a parolee who *stays*
in the colony carrying their record, not vanilla's release that ejects them from the map;
- a grateful memory, and a small **+0.03** to order (a lawful release is visible justice too).
The parolee keeps their `CriminalRecord`, so if they reoffend the [policing](Policing.md) loop catches
them again — recidivism, closing back onto the start.
---
## Seeing it
A rehabilitated prisoner's inspect pane shows the state directly (a Harmony postfix on
`Pawn.GetInspectString`, via Justice's existing Regime patch — not a contested method):
> *Rehabilitation: reforming (40%)* · *reformed — ready for parole* · *— neglected (3d)*
And because the colony's **order climate** otherwise has no readout at all, the same line surfaces it
when it is far enough from ordinary to matter — *Colony order: low (28%) — crime pays here* / *high
(71%) — order holds*.
---
## What this closes
With rehabilitation wired, the whole post-arrest arc runs in play: **discipline** moves reform,
**classification** re-grades as reform rises, **deterrence** climbs on visible justice (not just
falls on crime), **parole** releases the reformed, and Core's **treatment engine** carries the reform
track the same way it carries Ward's recovery. The loop closes back onto disposition — catching,
reforming, and releasing one pawn moves the climate every other pawn is judged against.
Gated by `InstitutionSettings.justice`, like the rest of the corrections layer.
