+# Classification
+
+*The intelligence layer over the wings you already build by hand.*
+
+You already build a minimum wing and a max block. You already put the psychopath behind steel and the
+teenage pickpocket behind a wooden door. Classification does not replace those walls, cells and locks —
+it answers the question vanilla never does: **who belongs where.** It reads the one shared record every
+part of the suite writes to and turns it into a single verdict, so the crime system, the search, the
+escape and the classifier all agree on how dangerous a pawn is, because they read the same number.
+
+Grade drives everything downstream: search frequency, privileges, escape risk, and — critically —
+parole eligibility ([Parole](Parole.md) gates on grade).
+
+> The isolation *toll* of a max/solitary placement is Prisoner Realism's (good) sim. Corrections only
+> decides the placement.
+
+---
+
+## The tiers
+
+Every held pawn falls into one of four security grades, low to high — the tiers you already build,
+named:
+
+| Grade | Risk score | Reading |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Minimum** | below 0.35 | Barely a disposition, clean record. Open dorm, light watch. |
+| **Medium** | 0.35 – 0.79 | A real record or a real nature. Proper cell, routine search. The parole ceiling. |
+| **Maximum** | 0.80 – 1.49 | Repeat offender or proven flight risk. Steel, solitary door, frequent search. |
+| **Supermax** | 1.5 and up | The headline cases. Escapes plus crimes plus a dark nature. Never let them near a wall. |
+
+Note the ceiling at **Medium**: [Parole](Parole.md) will only consider a pawn graded Medium or below.
+Grade is therefore not just a placement hint — it is the gate a pawn has to fall back through before
+they can be released.
+
+---
+
+## The risk score
+
+Risk is a number from 0 to about 3: baseline disposition, plus everything on the record, minus reform
+earned. Each thing a prisoner has done adds a fixed amount:
+
+| What it counts | Adds to risk | Why this weight |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Nature** (0 to 1) | nature × 0.5 | Disposition alone can carry a pawn to Medium (nature 0.7+), but never past it on its own. Character is a suspicion, not a conviction. |
+| **Each escape attempt** | +0.35 | The heaviest per-event term. A pawn who *runs* is the one who ends up armed in your base. One attempt is worth nearly two crimes. |
+| **Each crime committed** | +0.20 | The staple. Steady, cumulative. |
+| **Each time caught** | +0.15 | Caught contraband is worse than merely suspected. |
+| **Each contraband item made** | +0.10 | The lightest term — making a shiv is common; escaping with one is not. |
+| **Reform earned** | up to −0.4 | The only thing that *lowers* the grade. At most −0.4, since reform caps at 1.0. |
+
+The total is never allowed below zero.
+
+Two facts fall out of the numbers, and both matter for how you play:
+
+- **Searching a prisoner does not raise their risk.** Only *finding* something does — a search that
+  turns up nothing costs the prisoner no grade. Search freely.
+- **Reform can shift at most 0.4 of risk.** At full reform (1.0), the downgrade is −0.4. So a pawn
+  whose record *without reform* already totals 1.2 or more can never fall to Medium (below 0.8) no
+  matter how thoroughly they reform — and therefore can **never be paroled**. A prolific offender is a
+  life sentence. You will hold them, work them, or execute them; you will not release them. This is a
+  deliberate property of the weights, not an accident.
+
+---
+
+## Worked example — grading a record
+
+**Bram**, an Abrasive raider, has a nature of 0.20. He has three crimes, one escape attempt, was caught
+twice, made two shivs, and has not been reformed. Add it up:
+
+| Source | Contribution |
+|---|---|
+| nature 0.20 × 0.5 | 0.100 |
+| 1 escape × 0.35 | 0.350 (the headline) |
+| 3 crimes × 0.20 | 0.600 |
+| caught twice × 0.15 | 0.300 |
+| 2 shivs × 0.10 | 0.200 |
+| no reform | 0.000 |
+| **total** | **1.550** → Supermax |
+
+Now treat him. Say patient handling and good conduct lift his reform to 0.40. That subtracts
+0.40 × 0.4 = 0.16, dropping his risk to **1.39 → Maximum.** He falls a band.
+
+But notice: his reform-*less* risk is 1.55, well above 1.2. Even at perfect reform (1.0) he lands at
+1.55 − 0.40 = 1.15 — still Maximum. **Bram is beyond parole for the rest of his life.** His record
+decided that, not his disposition.
+
+Contrast **Cass**, a Kind pickpocket whose gentle nature floors her nature term at 0. She has one
+crime, was caught once, no escapes, no contraband, no reform yet. Her risk is
+(1 × 0.20) + (1 × 0.15) = **0.35 → Medium**, exactly on the line.
+
+Give Cass the standard treatment up to reform 0.30. That subtracts 0.30 × 0.4 = 0.12, dropping her to
+**0.23 → Minimum.** Cass is now Minimum, and — being Medium-or-below with reform at least 0.30 —
+**paroleable.** Same institution, two futures, and the record told you which was which before you had
+to guess.
+
+---
+
+## How to play with grades
+
+- **Segregate by grade, not by vibe.** Sort your cells to the four bands and put a pawn where their
+  score, not your hunch, says. The whole suite reads the record; you can too.
+- **Escapes are the alarm.** One escape attempt (+0.35) will jump a middling pawn a band. If a pawn
+  crosses into Maximum after a break attempt, believe it — treat them as the flight risk the number
+  says they are.
+- **A clean nature is not a clean record.** A Kind pawn who has escaped twice still grades Maximum;
+  disposition is only half the score.
+- **Watch the parole ceiling.** If you intend to release someone, keep their reform-less risk under
+  1.2 — mostly that means limiting how deep their record gets *before* you start treating them. A pawn
+  you let rack up escapes and catches has sentenced themselves.
+- **Reform is the only lever that lowers a grade.** See [Discipline & Reform](Discipline-and-Reform.md)
+  for how to move it, and [Parole](Parole.md) for where the grade gate lands.

-# Deterrence — the feedback loop
-
-*The connection that turns the pipeline into a cycle.*
-
-This is the part that makes policing **govern** rather than merely clean up. Everything else in Justice
-reacts to one pawn: this reacts to the *whole colony*, and it feeds **back** into every pawn's
-disposition. Crime that goes unanswered emboldens everyone a little; visible justice deters everyone a
-little. The reason to punish is not just this prisoner — it is the message it sends the rest, and here
-that message is a number they all read.
-
----
-
-## The climate of order
-
-Every colony carries one order value:
-
-| | |
-|---|---|
-| **Range** | 0.0 (lawless) … 1.0 (iron) |
-| **Baseline** | 0.5 — an ordinary colony |
-| **Below baseline** | crime pays; dispositions run **hot** |
-| **Above baseline** | order holds; dispositions run **cool** |
-
-It is nudged by two events and, left alone, forgets.
-
-### The nudges
-
-| Event | Nudge |
-|---|---|
-| A crime, unanswered | **−0.08** |
-| Visible justice done (a punishment) | **+0.12** |
-
-Both stay clamped to the 0–1 range. Note the asymmetry: **punishment (+0.12) outweighs crime (−0.08)
-by 1.5×.** A colony that answers every offence does not merely break even — it ratchets *above*
-baseline into "order holds" territory. This is the deterrence dividend, and it is deliberate: justice
-seen to be done buys more order than the crime cost.
-
-The same crime that moves the climate also marks the culprit's record — the offence that shifts the
-colony's mood is the one classification and parole will remember later. A punishment moves only the
-climate; the reform side of a punishment — how the offender themselves changes — is
-[Discipline](Discipline-and-Reform.md)'s job.
-
-### The drift
-
-Memory fades. With nothing happening, the climate creeps back toward ordinary at about **0.0015 every
-in-game while (roughly one nudge every 2500 ticks)** — which works out to:
-
-**drift per in-game day ≈ 0.036**
-
-So a single unanswered crime (−0.08) takes roughly `0.08 / 0.036 ≈ 2.2 days` to heal on its own — or
-one punishment (+0.12) to over-answer instantly. An iron colony you stop maintaining slides back to
-baseline over about two weeks; it does not stay stern for free.
-
----
-
-## The feedback — how it reaches every pawn
-
-This is the loop. The climate is read back into every colonist's upbringing as a multiplier on their
-propensity:
-
-| Order level | Factor | Effect on every pawn's disposition |
-|---|---|---|
-| 0.00 (lawless) | **1.300** | +30% hotter — crime pays, everyone feels it |
-| 0.30 | 1.120 | +12% |
-| **0.50 (baseline)** | **1.000** | **neutral — a default colony sits exactly here** |
-| 0.70 | 0.880 | −12% |
-| 0.90 | 0.760 | −24% |
-| 1.00 (iron) | **0.700** | −30% cooler — order holds, everyone calms |
-
-Two things to notice:
-
-- **Baseline is the neutral point, by design.** A default colony sits at 0.5, which is a factor of
-  exactly 1.0 — ordinary order neither inflames nor calms. That symmetry is deliberate. If baseline
-  ran hot, ordinary order would nudge propensity up, breed a little more crime, drop order, and feed a
-  slow runaway. Neutral-at-baseline means only a colony that lets order *slide below* ordinary earns
-  the hot multiplier, and only one that pushes *above* it earns the calm.
-- **The swing is 0.7× to 1.3×, symmetric around 1.0** — a ±30% spread applied to *everyone's*
-  disposition at once. This is the multiplier that makes catching one pawn matter to the disposition of
-  the rest.
-
-### When it applies
-
-This bending of behaviour only happens while **Policing is installed**. Core on its own reads a flat,
-neutral 1.0 — colonists are indifferent to order — and only Policing wires the climate into their
-disposition. A colonist who is off the map (in a caravan, in transit) has no local climate to read, so
-they fall back to neutral too.
-
----
-
-## Worked example — a day at the institution
-
-The colony starts at baseline 0.5 (factor 1.05). Over one day:
-
-| Step | Event | Order level | Factor |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| start | — | 0.50 | 1.050 |
-| 1 | Prisoner A shanks a guard (crime, unanswered) | 0.42 | 1.106 |
-| 2 | Prisoner B foments trouble (crime, unanswered) | 0.34 | 1.162 |
-| 3 | Warden punishes A | 0.46 | 1.078 |
-| 4 | Warden punishes B | 0.58 | 0.994 |
-| overnight | nothing happens, drift ≈ −0.036 toward 0.5 | 0.544 | 1.019 |
-
-Two crimes cost −0.16; two punishments returned +0.24. The colony ends the day at 0.58 — **above**
-where it started — because punishment out-answers crime. Every pawn's disposition dipped hotter as the
-crimes landed (1.05 → 1.16) and then cooled below neutral once order was reasserted (0.994). By morning
-the drift has begun erasing the gain, and if nothing keeps the pressure on, the colony sinks back to its
-slightly-hot baseline over the next couple of weeks.
-
-That arc — hot when crime pays, cool when justice is seen, forgetful when neither happens — is the
-whole reason discipline is not inert. You are not punishing a pawn; you are setting the temperature of
-the room.
-
----
-
-## How to play with deterrence
-
-- **Answer crime, visibly and promptly.** Each punishment is worth 1.5 crimes of order. A colony that
-  reliably punishes climbs *above* baseline and cools everyone; a colony that lets offences slide
-  sinks below and heats everyone — a spiral, because hotter pawns commit more crime.
-- **Don't coast on a past crackdown.** The climate drifts back to baseline at 0.036/day. Order is a
-  maintenance cost, not a one-time purchase.
-- **Push past baseline if you want calm.** Neutral disposition needs an order level of about 0.571;
-  ordinary (0.5) still runs 5% hot. A steady rhythm of caught-and-punished offences is what holds you
-  there.
-- **A lawless spell is self-feeding.** At an order level of 0.3 every pawn is 1.19× more disposed; more
-  crime follows, driving the level lower still. Break the cycle with punishments, not patience.

+# Discipline & Reform
+
+*Punishment as an action, with a self-complete payoff — and the seat of institutionalization.*
+
+> This page is the **numbers** — what a disciplinary act does to reform and order. What *drives* it in
+> play (a warden's rehabilitation sessions, and neglect that hardens) is [Rehabilitation](Rehabilitation.md).
+
+Punishment does two things at once, on two different axes:
+
+1. **It deters the colony.** Order seen to be done raises the climate of order for everyone: any act of
+   discipline adds **+0.12** to the colony's order. See [Deterrence](Deterrence.md).
+2. **It reshapes the punished.** A harsh hand *prisonizes* — the pawn hardens, reform falls, their
+   disposition climbs for good. A corrective hand *rehabilitates* — reform rises, their disposition
+   cools for good.
+
+Both effects belong to Corrections, so discipline is never inert. Prisoner Realism owns the passive
+*toll* of isolation (a good sim of how solitary *feels*); Corrections owns the *order* it produces and
+the persistent *shift* it leaves on the pawn. When both mods are present, PR's solitary deterioration
+deepens the felt experience on top — it does not replace this.
+
+---
+
+## The two hands
+
+Every disciplinary act moves the prisoner's **reform** score, in one of two directions:
+
+| The hand | Reform change | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Harsh** | **−0.15** | Beatings, deprivation, the hard hand. Hardens — "prisonization." |
+| **Corrective** | **+0.10** | Correction, structure, rewarded good conduct. Rehabilitates. |
+
+Either way, the act also adds **+0.12** to the colony's order — the colony sees order done, whoever it
+was done to.
+
+Reform lives on the shared record, clamped between −1 and +1:
+
+| Reform | Reading |
+|---|---|
+| **+1.0** | Fully rehabilitated |
+| **0.0** | Untouched — as they came in |
+| **−1.0** | Fully hardened, institutionalized |
+
+Note the asymmetry: **harsh (−0.15) moves faster than gentle (+0.10).** It takes three corrective acts
+to build +0.30 of reform; two harsh acts to tear down −0.30. Damage is quicker than repair — as it
+should be.
+
+---
+
+## How reform becomes disposition
+
+Reform is not a status effect or a mood buff. It feeds straight back into a pawn's **disposition** —
+Core's underlying "would they act out?" multiplier — scaling their whole disposition up or down and
+keeping it there. The size of that scaling is set entirely by reform:
+
+| Reform | Disposition factor | Effect |
+|---|---|---|
+| −1.00 (hardened) | **1.500** | +50% more disposed — permanently |
+| −0.30 | 1.150 | +15% |
+| −0.15 (one harsh act) | 1.075 | +7.5% |
+| 0.00 | 1.000 | untouched |
+| +0.10 (one gentle act) | 0.950 | −5% |
+| +0.30 (parole threshold) | 0.850 | −15% |
+| +1.00 (rehabilitated) | **0.500** | −50% less disposed — permanently |
+
+Because reform is clamped between −1 and +1, the factor spans 0.5× to 1.5×. **This is the whole
+trick.** Institutionalization and recidivism are not a parallel mechanic bolted on the side — they are
+*one number the disposition already reads*. A hardened pawn is not flagged "recidivist"; they simply
+carry a negative reform that makes every "would they?" roll for the rest of their life come up hot.
+Discipline and Parole are what *move* reform; disposition only *reads* it — which is how
+institutionalization emerges without a second system.
+
+---
+
+## Worked example — two sentences
+
+Take a fresh prisoner with reform 0, badly kept: mood 0.30, held. Before any reform, their disposition
+is already running hot — a bad mood (×1.6) and a held-and-unhappy cell (×1.4) combine, and with the
+colony at baseline the pawn sits around **2.35× disposition**.
+
+**The hard hand.** You beat them into line — three harsh punishments take reform to −0.45. At that
+reform the disposition factor is 1.225, so their disposition is now 2.35 × 1.225 ≈ **2.88 — +22% hotter
+than when they arrived**, forever, independent of mood. You have made them more criminal, not less.
+This is prisonization: the sentence itself became the cause. (You did buy +0.36 of colony order along
+the way — order today, at the cost of the pawn's tomorrow.)
+
+**The corrective hand.** Instead you structure and reward — three gentle punishments *and* you fix
+their conditions (recreation, decent cell) so mood recovers to 0.55. Reform rises to +0.30, and the
+recovered mood drops the "badly kept" and "held-and-unhappy" penalties entirely. The disposition factor
+at +0.30 reform is 0.85, so their disposition is now roughly **0.89 — below neutral.** The same pawn who
+would have been 2.88 disposed is now 0.89. And at reform 0.30 with a low enough grade they have crossed
+the [Parole](Parole.md) threshold. Same institution, opposite outcomes — decided by which hand you used.
+
+---
+
+## How to play with discipline
+
+- **Harsh is a lever, not a punishment button.** It buys colony order *now* (+0.12) at the price of the
+  pawn's disposition *forever* (−0.15 reform → hotter disposition). Use it when you need the deterrence
+  and never intend to release the pawn — a Supermax lifer you are only ever going to hold.
+- **Gentle is how anyone gets out.** Parole needs reform 0.30 or higher; only the corrective hand
+  builds it. Three gentle acts is the floor.
+- **Damage compounds; repair is slow.** −0.15 vs +0.10 means a pawn you brutalize early is expensive to
+  bring back — and a hardened pawn commits more crime, which sinks the climate, which makes *everyone*
+  worse. Don't harden pawns you might want later.
+- **Conditions and discipline stack.** Reform shifts disposition permanently; mood, neglect and
+  deterrence shift it live (see [Regime](Regime.md) and [Deterrence](Deterrence.md)). A reformed pawn
+  in a well-run wing is calm on two axes at once.

+# Parole
+
+*Release, driven by what the pawn has become.*
+
+> This page is the release **decision**. The warden work that acts on it — the "Ready for parole" alert
+> and the release that frees a parolee back into the colony — is [Rehabilitation](Rehabilitation.md).
+
+Parole is the end of the arc, and it is deliberately a *decision*, not a mechanic that rebuilds the
+game's release flow. It asks one question — **is this pawn ready?** — and answers it from two things
+already on the record: the reform the sentence earned (or failed to earn), and the grade the record
+warrants.
+
+> The *return* outcome — a grateful ally, a vengeful raider — is Prisoner Realism's Recidivism, a good
+> sim Corrections does not rebuild. Corrections' mirror is the parolee who **stays** and may reoffend,
+> carrying their record into the colony.
+
+---
+
+## The gate
+
+A prisoner can be paroled only when **all three** of these hold:
+
+| Condition | Threshold | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| Not already pardoned | never released before | Release is one-way; you can't re-parole. |
+| Genuinely reformed | reform 0.30 or higher | Proof the sentence *healed* rather than hardened. Three corrective acts minimum. |
+| Low enough grade | grade Medium or below (risk under 0.8) | Reform of attitude is not enough — the *record* must have cooled to something you'd let out. |
+
+A pawn with **no record at all** is releasable trivially (there is nothing to hold them). Everyone else
+has to earn all three.
+
+The grade gate and the reform gate interact in a way worth internalizing. Because reform subtracts at
+most 0.4 from risk ([Classification](Classification.md)), a pawn whose reform-*less* risk is 1.2 or more
+can never reach Medium — so **no amount of reform will ever parole a prolific offender.** Parole is for
+pawns whose record stayed shallow enough that treatment can pull them back under the ceiling. Let a pawn
+rack up escapes and catches and you have quietly converted them into a lifer, whatever their attitude.
+
+---
+
+## Release
+
+Releasing a parolee marks a **pardon** on their record. Vanilla does the actual freeing; the pardon is
+Corrections' memory that this pawn was let out after genuine reform, so reintegration can grant a clean
+slate and the pawn won't be offered for parole twice. A modest faction-goodwill / relationship nudge for
+a well-handled release is the immediate payoff.
+
+---
+
+## The whole arc
+
+The pawn moves through every stage in turn, and each one writes the record the next one reads:
+
+| Stage | Where it lives | What moves | What's recorded |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1. Crime | [Deterrence](Deterrence.md) | Climate −0.08; the colony runs hot | a crime, and when it happened |
+| 2. Caught & held | [Classification](Classification.md) | A grade is assigned from the record | reads every counter |
+| 3. Discipline | [Discipline](Discipline-and-Reform.md) | Reform moves ±; climate +0.12 | reform |
+| 4. Reform | [Discipline](Discipline-and-Reform.md) → Core | Disposition cools as reform rises | reform (read by disposition) |
+| 5. Regrade | [Classification](Classification.md) | Reform subtracts risk; grade falls | reads reform |
+| 6. **Parole** | this page | Gate opens at reform 0.30 **and** grade Medium or below | reads reform and pardon; sets pardon |
+
+It is a loop, not a line: the crime that opens stage 1 also cools the colony's climate, which the *next*
+pawn's disposition reads — so one pawn's whole sentence is faintly present in every other pawn's odds.
+
+---
+
+## Worked example — a sentence that ends in release
+
+**Cass**, a Kind pickpocket whose gentle nature floors her nature term at 0. She arrives with one crime,
+caught once, no escapes, no contraband, no reform yet. Her risk is (1 × 0.20) + (1 × 0.15) = **0.35 →
+Medium.** She is already Medium-or-below, so the *grade* gate is met — but her reform is 0, so she is not
+yet releasable.
+
+You give her the corrective hand three times (structure, rewarded conduct) and fix her cell so she
+isn't stewing. Reform rises to 0.30, which subtracts 0.30 × 0.4 = 0.12 from her risk, dropping her to
+**0.23 → Minimum.** Now all three gates are met — reform at least 0.30, Minimum is below Medium, and
+she's never been pardoned — so **Cass is paroleable.** Pardon her and she walks.
+
+Contrast **Bram** from the Classification page, whose reform-less risk of 1.55 keeps him at Maximum even
+at full reform — the grade gate never opens for him, so he can never be paroled. Two prisoners, the same
+treatment, and the record decides which one you can ever let go.
+
+---
+
+## A note on record cleanup
+
+A pawn with a completely empty record — no crimes, no escapes, no contraband, no catches, no reform, no
+pardon — is forgotten on save/load (Core prunes blank and dead-pawn records). A *pardoned* pawn is
+therefore **not** empty, and their record persists: the pardon is remembered. This is why a released
+parolee who stays and reoffends still carries their history — Corrections does not forget that they were
+once let out.
+
+---
+
+## Ideology-flavoured thresholds
+
+Precepts layer on top of this baseline, not under it: an execution-favouring ideoligion paroles rarely,
+a lenient one readily. The gate above is the baseline those precepts modulate — the floor beneath the
+flavour, so the decision is coherent whether or not Ideology is installed.
+
+---
+
+## How to play with parole
+
+- **Parole is earned, not granted.** You cannot release your way out of a deep record. Decide early
+  whether a pawn is a keep-or-release case and treat (gently) the ones you mean to free.
+- **Reform 0.30 is three gentle acts, minimum.** Nothing faster reaches it. Start early.
+- **Keep the record shallow if you want the option.** Every escape (+0.35) and catch (+0.15) you let
+  accumulate pushes a pawn toward the unparoleable side of the 1.2 line.
+- **A parolee who stays is a Corrections case, not a farewell.** They carry their record; if conditions
+  sour, their disposition (still reading their history) can put them back on it.

-# Policing — the pre-arrest half
-
-*The other half of the loop. Where the rest of Justice deals with people the colony has already
-caught, **policing** is what happens before the cell door: your own colonists commit crimes on the
-propensity spectrum, the colony investigates, and — sometimes — arrests.*
-
-It is a big behavioural change (your colonists become potential criminals), so it has **its own
-toggle** in the mod settings, on by default. Turn it off to run the rest of Justice — classification,
-deterrence, discipline, parole, regime — without colony crime.
-
----
-
-## The loop
-
-**crime → witnessed / investigated → weighed arrest (resist?) → prison → … → parole → recidivism**
-
-Every stage draws on the same shared systems — each colonist's propensity, the one shared criminal
-record, the climate of order — so policing is not a bolt-on: the record it writes is the record
-classification grades on and discipline reforms.
-
-## Crime — and why small colonies stay honest
-
-Every ~40 seconds, each free colonist gets a hidden roll to offend. The base chance is low (about
-6% per roll) and it is multiplied hard by nature × nurture — almost nobody with an ordinary
-disposition ever does anything. But it is *also* multiplied by **crime cover**:
-
-| Free colonists | Crime cover |
-|---|---|
-| ≤ 3 | 0.15 |
-| ~8 | ~0.6 |
-| ≥ 13 | 1.0 |
-
-In a tight 2–3 pawn colony everyone knows everyone and retribution is certain even without a jail, so
-crime is **rare**; a larger, more anonymous colony offers cover. This is a deliberate inversion of the
-naive "no enforcement → more crime": a small colony is kept honest by its own closeness, not by a
-constable.
-
-A crime is one of **theft**, **vandalism**, or **assault** — leaning on who the culprit is (a
-kleptomaniac steals, a bloodlusty pawn assaults, a pyromaniac vandalizes).
-
-## Consequences — the stakes
-
-A crime leaves a mark the colony can *see*:
-
-- **Theft** lifts a small stack of the colony's goods and the thief **pockets it**. RimWorld has no
-  per-person property (stockpiles are communal), so theft is theft from the common store — but the
-  culprit now physically carries what they took, a natural evidence trail a search can pick up.
-- **Vandalism** damages a nearby colony building.
-- **Assault** gives a nearby colonist a light, down-safe knock — and the culprit chooses their mark
-  **wisely**: someone they resent (motive), who is weak (little retribution), and unwatched (few
-  witnesses).
-- **Relationships fray.** An assault victim thinks much worse of their attacker immediately (they saw
-  who did it); and when investigation *names* a culprit, the whole colony's opinion of them drops.
-- The colony is **notified** a crime happened — culprit unknown.
-
-## Witnesses and investigation
-
-A crime is not equally solvable. Colonists who were near enough to **see** it are witnesses, and each
-is a partial lead — a witnessed crime starts up to 80% of the way to solved before anyone lifts a
-finger; an unseen one is a **cold case** worked from nothing.
-
-Investigation then builds evidence toward a full, named solve two ways:
-
-- **Ambient** progress, scaled by how many colonists the colony can spare — a background trickle from
-  everyone keeping an eye out, faster when the colony has people to spare.
-- **The policing work type.** Assign a colonist to *policing* and they walk to open **crime scenes**
-  and work them, adding a chunk of evidence scaled by their Intellectual + Social skill. A sharp
-  constable cracks cases fast; a colony that spares no one lets them go cold.
-
-## The weighed arrest
-
-A solved case does **not** mean an automatic arrest. Fellow-colonist cops will not gut the colony to
-jail someone over a petty crime — the arrest is a cost/benefit call, and it goes ahead only when both
-are true: the colony can **afford a prison**, and the crime is **serious enough** to clear a bar that
-rises with how valuable the culprit is.
-
-- **Severity** — the crime's kind (theft 1 · vandalism 1.5 · assault 2.5), escalated by the culprit's
-  record (a rap sheet and prior escapes compound).
-- **Value** — 0..1 from the culprit's best skills. The bar sits at about 1.5 for an expendable pawn
-  and climbs by three times the culprit's value — so a star colonist raises it to about 4.5.
-- **Capacity** — **below ~5 colonists, or with no prison bed, the colony arrests no one.** A prisoner
-  plus a warden would cripple a small colony. Capacity ramps up as the colony grows.
-
-So a petty crime by your only doctor → they walk. A murder → arrested regardless. And a crime that
-paid, unanswered, erodes the climate of order a little more (crime emboldens).
-
-## Resisting arrest
-
-The disposed do not go quietly (seeded by nature × nurture):
-
-- **Comply** → taken in cleanly (they become a prisoner of the colony — imprisonment is direct, and it
-  survives guest-management mods like Hospitality).
-- **Resist** → the violent turn **berserk**, the rest **flee**. A botched arrest becomes a crisis the
-  colony must handle the hard way, and openly defying arrest emboldens the lawless.
-- **Subdued** → a resister the colony beats down is then **imprisoned** — the resist path resolves to a
-  cell once the colony wins the confrontation. One who flees the map gets away.
-
-## Prison riots
-
-When the climate of order **collapses** (deterrence at the floor) in a colony holding prisoners, a
-neglected prison boils over into a **riot**: disposed prisoners turn violent together, and the unrest
-shatters order further. A well-run colony (high deterrence) never sees one — a riot is the thing a
-badly-run institution *earns*.
-
-## Recidivism, made visible
-
-The loop closes on itself: a pawn hardened in prison (negative reform) runs a higher propensity and
-reoffends. When investigation names a culprit the colony had **paroled**, it says so out loud — the
-recidivism loop turning in the open, the payoff for everything classification, discipline, and parole
-did upstream.

+# Regime
+
+*The daily life of the held — and the one lever vanilla withholds.*
+
+Most of what a prison regime needs, vanilla already gives you. The schedule is the Restrict tab. The
+mood-driven disposition already flows through the colony's underlying systems — a neglected prisoner
+runs hotter with no new machinery. So Regime does not rebuild any of that. It adds the single thing
+vanilla flatly refuses to model: **recreation.**
+
+---
+
+## What vanilla does, and what Regime flips
+
+Vanilla denies prisoners the **Joy** (recreation) need outright — the need is flagged colonists-only, so
+it simply never appears on a prisoner. A caged pawn has no recreation bar, cannot take joy from
+anything, and never suffers for its absence.
+
+Regime flips exactly that one bit on — the same approach the good, popular **Prisoner Recreation** mod
+takes. It grants the recreation need to **humanlike prisoners of your colony** and nothing else: animals,
+guests, slaves and colonists are untouched, only the recreation need is affected, and it only ever
+*adds* the need where vanilla withheld it — it never removes a need another mod granted.
+
+That is the entire mechanism. Enabling recreation is trivial — once the need exists, vanilla does all
+the rest (joy sources, the recreation bar, the mood effects of a full or empty one). The *value* is not
+the plumbing; it is what an empty bar now costs.
+
+---
+
+## Why a need you can neglect is the point
+
+Giving prisoners recreation is not a mercy toggle — it is a **lever with two ends**, and the down end is
+the one that matters to the suite. Once a prisoner *has* the Joy need, they can be **starved** of it, and
+vanilla's own machinery then does the work: no recreation lowers Joy, which lowers mood, and a low mood
+raises the pawn's disposition — their odds on every "would they?" roll.
+
+Every one of those steps already exists. Regime only opens the first door; mood is wired to disposition
+in Core, so a prisoner who gets no yard time stews, their mood sinks, and their disposition climbs.
+From [Deterrence](Deterrence.md) and [Discipline & Reform](Discipline-and-Reform.md) you already know
+disposition is the multiplier the whole system keys off; Regime is what lets *neglect* feed it.
+
+Concretely, a prisoner's mood pushes their disposition into these brackets:
+
+| Prisoner condition | Disposition contribution |
+|---|---|
+| Mood below 0.20 (recreation-starved, at the floor of despair) | ×2.5 |
+| Mood below 0.35 (badly kept) | ×1.6 |
+| Held **and** mood below 0.40 (a badly run cell) | an additional ×1.4 |
+
+A prisoner you give no recreation is a prisoner you are pushing up those brackets. Regime turns "I
+didn't bother building a rec room" from a non-event into a disposition cost you pay on every roll.
+
+---
+
+## Works alongside Prisoner Recreation
+
+If you also run the **Prisoner Recreation** mod, nothing breaks. Both mods do the same thing — grant the
+recreation need to prisoners — and because Regime only acts when the need isn't already granted,
+whichever runs first grants it and the other sees it already done. Running both is harmless. Running
+either alone is sufficient. There is no double-need, no conflict, no load-order sensitivity between them.
+
+Regime prints a short startup message so you can confirm it loaded and prisoner recreation is enabled.
+
+---
+
+## Content on top
+
+Yard time, safety needs, and visitation are *content* on this foundation, not new machinery. Each of
+them is just another thing that moves a prisoner's mood — and mood is already wired to disposition — so
+they build on the same spine that this one recreation change put in place. When they land, they make a
+well-run regime feel richer without adding new systems underneath.
+
+---
+
+## How to play with Regime
+
+- **Build the rec room.** A prisoner with recreation settles; the mood brackets above stay off, and
+  their disposition sits near baseline. A cheap horseshoe pin or chess table earns its keep in crimes
+  that don't happen.
+- **Neglect is a choice with a number.** Leaving prisoners with nothing to do isn't neutral — it drives
+  mood into the ×1.6 and ×2.5 disposition brackets, and a hotter prisoner reoffends, which cools your
+  colony's climate of order, which heats *everyone*. The rec room is deterrence you build once.
+- **Recreation and reform stack.** Regime cools disposition *live* (through mood); reform cools it
+  *permanently* (through [Discipline & Reform](Discipline-and-Reform.md)). A reformed prisoner in a
+  well-run wing is calm on both axes — which is exactly the pawn you can eventually [parole](Parole.md).
+- **You don't need Prisoner Recreation too** — but if you have it, keep it. They coexist.

+# Rehabilitation
+
+*The warden work that drives discipline, reform, and parole.*
+
+Classification, discipline, deterrence, and parole set the rules — a grade over the record, a reform
+score punishment moves, an order climate, a release decision. Rehabilitation is what a warden actually
+*does* day to day to move a prisoner through them. Without it, reform sits still, classification never
+re-grades, and parole never fires; with it, the whole post-arrest arc comes alive.
+
+It gives corrections the same shape Ward gives psychiatric care — a **prisoner interaction mode**,
+**warden work**, an **alert**, and an **inspect readout** — so a warden 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 same kind 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 bar 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 about 20 in-game minutes, with Social as the
+active skill. On completion (never on interruption — you only earn credit for a finished session), one
+session does three things:
+
+1. **Corrective discipline** — a gentle disciplinary act: reform **+0.10**, and it 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 bar** — the visible progress bar fills, by **0.34 × cell quality × skill** per session,
+   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 | Depends on |
+|---|---|---|
+| skill factor | 0.5 … 1.0 | the warden's Social level |
+| cell quality | 0.5 … 1.5 | the cell's impressiveness |
+| reform per session | +0.10 | fixed |
+| order per session | +0.12 | fixed |
+
+Reform reaches the parole bar (0.30) in roughly **three completed sessions** — faster than a bad cell or
+a poor counsellor fills the visible bar. So the "Ready for parole" alert keys off the real gate, not the
+bar you see filling.
+
+---
+
+## Neglect — the teeth
+
+A prisoner you flag for rehabilitation and then never attend **hardens**, exactly as a ward you don't
+staff does. Once more than **two days** pass since the last real session, reform falls **−0.15/day** and
+they resent it (a mood hit). This hardening lowers reform *directly*, not as an act of visible justice —
+neglect is passive prisonization, so unlike a session it does **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 the parole gate — reform 0.30 or higher, security grade Medium or
+below, not already pardoned — the **Ready for parole** alert names them. A warden set to Parole then
+processes the release:
+
+- marks the **pardon** on the record;
+- clears the prisoner hold so a former prisoner becomes 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 record, so if they reoffend the [policing](Policing.md) loop catches them again
+— recidivism, closing back onto the start.
+
+---
+
+## Discipline — the other lever
+
+Rehabilitation is the carrot; **discipline** is the stick, and its opposite. Set a prisoner to
+**Discipline** and a warden puts them in **solitary**: harsh discipline *hardens* them — reform falls —
+yet raises the colony's order (visible harsh justice deters the rest), and it stings: a mood hit and an
+on-edge *in solitary* status. It fires at most once per term (the status blocks re-discipline for about
+two days), so it holds order without cratering reform in a single day. The tension is the point: lean on
+discipline to keep order and you make the punished harder to reform.
+
+## Classification enforcement
+
+Classification always computed a **security grade** (Minimum..Supermax); now it is actionable:
+
+- **The grade shows** on every prisoner's inspect pane — the game tells you who is dangerous instead of
+  leaving you to guess.
+- **Wing-routing.** A wall-mounted **security marker** grades the cell block it stands in
+  (Minimum..Supermax, set with a gizmo). One marker covers a *whole block* — a prisoner takes the grade
+  of the nearest marker in range, so you tag a corridor once rather than cluttering every cell. A
+  **"Dangerous prisoner unsecured" alert** then flags any prisoner held in a wing too weak for their
+  grade, and the inspect pane shows their wing and a **MISPLACED** warning — move them to a stronger
+  wing. An ungraded wing falls back to flagging an unsegregated Maximum/Supermax pawn.
+- **Cell safety:** a prisoner caged with a dangerous one suffers a mood penalty. Segregate your
+  dangerous prisoners, or their cellmates pay for it — the grade made to matter on the *housing* side,
+  not only at parole.
+
+## Regime — yard, lockup, and visitors
+
+Beyond punishment and reform, the held have a **daily life**:
+
+- **Yard / Lockup schedule.** Two timetable blocks set a held pawn's day: **Yard** allows recreation
+  (with the prisoner recreation need Regime enables, they head out to a rec area), **Lockup** confines
+  them to the cell and stews their mood. The timetable itself is **Prison Labor's** — Corrections reads
+  it when PL is present and does nothing without it, so PL stays compatible.
+- **Visitors.** A prisoner or ward patient with family or a bond gets **visitors** — a friendly party
+  walks in under the game's own visitor AI and congregates by their cell, and the break from isolation
+  lifts their mood. Thematically strongest for a ward patient whose family comes to see them.
+
+---
+
+## Seeing it
+
+Every colony prisoner's inspect pane now carries the corrections readout:
+
+> *Security grade: Maximum* · *In solitary* · *Rehabilitation: reforming (40%) — neglected (3d)* ·
+> *reformed — ready for parole*
+
+The **grade** shows for every held pawn; *in solitary* while a discipline term runs; the
+**rehabilitation** line for a pawn set to reform. And because the colony's **order climate** otherwise
+has no readout at all, the same pane 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 in play, the whole post-arrest arc runs: **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** carries the reform bar 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.
+
+The whole corrections layer can be toggled off in the mod's settings, like the rest of the suite.
