Name: Prisoner Perks Perturbs Periwinkles

Description:
The families of victims of the famous Periwinkle Massacre are up in arms over recent revelations the perpetrator, @@RANDOMNAME@@, who is currently locked up in @@NAME@@'s harshest prison, has a number of perks in prison as a result of being a model inmate.

[option]"This is an insult to the victims and us their families. Why should that scum get anything for being 'a good boy'. They lost the right once they committed the atrocity. Ban all prisoner entertainment and maybe then they'll know what they have done to us." campaigns @@RANDOMNAME@@ parent of one of the victims of the Periwinkle Massacre
[effect]prison suicides have recently quadrupled

[option]"Wooh, let's slow down here. What we want is for them to rehabilitate them not leave them on the scrap heap of life. I propose we start a in-prison education scheme, make it mandatory for all prisons. That way when the prisoners get released they can be productive members of society." said Prisoner Advocate @@RANDOMNAME@@ in an interview with local media
[effect]people are committing crimes so that they can be educated with in the prison

[option]"Teaching prisoners to count with their fingers does not guarantee rehabilitation." states Hypnotherapist @@RANDOMNAME@@ who goes on to suggest. "If we put all inmates under Hypnosis then we all can give them subliminal suggestions and then vio-la model citizens."
[effect]brainwashing is used to great effect in the nations prisons

[option]"What?! This is brainwashing pure and simple and our great nation should not be even considering such things." retorts @@RANDOMNAME@@ one of the prison guards looking after the inmate in question."In fact I think he should make up by physical labour. Doing menial labour on roads or doing jobs that no one else will touch, Then that will be a big enough deterrent for people doing crimes."

Your final option is just a disembodied voice at the moment. Perhaps a prisoner advocate or somesuch?

I'd also suggest running it through a spellchecker (perpetrator etc.). You also need to consider the stat changes, but I'll leave that advice to those with more experience in issue writing.

It looks like it could be a good issue.

Good issue.

I've run it through word and changed the mistakes.

Thanks... replaced with Emperor Matthuis text and added a voice for option number 4

EDIT: changed 'states' or 'stated' to other speaking words for variety and added a bit more non-speaking text to some options
