| Message | A state is judged on the faring of its most vunerable citizens, prisoners have been failed already we must not repeat this! OSP vote NO! |
| Date | 23:00:54, October 25, 2005 CET | From | Jakanian Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the Prison Reform Act of 2131 |
| Message | The JLSP would also vote no, for the reasons the OSP expressed, and also, practically, we believe the education plan current found in prisons will drastically cut reoffending rates by helping to reintroduce offenders back into society at the end of their sentence, and this is something that benefits both them and us all. We feel there is neither need nor justification to scrap such a system. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
