= Jail =

'''Jail''' in CIT has two separate uses: law jail for wanted players and staff punishment jail for rule punishments.


== How players are jailed ==

Wanted players can be sent to jail by:

* being killed by police
* being tased and arrested with the nightstick
* using `/surrender`

Nightstick arrest rules:

* cops have `45` seconds to land `3` baton hits
* cops cannot nightstick arrest players inside vehicles
* cops cannot nightstick arrest inside `JFM`; they can only kill there

Non violent criminals need at least `30` wanted points for a kill arrest.

== Arrested player behavior ==

* Arrested players show `[Arrested]` above their head with the cop name.
* Arrested players have their hands behind their back.
* The arrested player is released if the arresting officer glues to a vehicle.
* The arrested player is released if the arresting officer parachutes.
* Wanted players cannot enter vehicles driven by police.

== Jail fine ==

Use `/payjailfine` to pay the jail fine.

<div class="cit-table-scroll">
{| class="wikitable"
! Rule
! Value
|-
| Cost formula
| minutes played divided by `3000`
|-
| Minimum
| `$10` per second remaining
|-
| Money needed
| cash in hand
|-
| Bank money
| does not work for `/payjailfine`
|}
</div>
Settings can control automatic jail fine payment and max payment.

== Inside jail ==

Jailed players can change skin, use CJ clothes, choose walkstyle, switch fight styles, and use gambling machines.


== Law Jail ==

Law jail is where wanted players are sent after police catch them.

Police can send wanted players to jail by:

* killing the wanted player
* tasing the wanted player and arresting them with the nightstick

Most players kill. Police cannot arrest players inside [[vehicles]] with the nightstick.

Jail time depends on the player's wanted level.

== Jail Fine notes ==

Use `/payjailfine` to pay the jail fine.

<div class="cit-table-scroll">
{| class="wikitable"
! Rule
! Value
|-
| Cost formula
| Minutes played divided by `3000`
|-
| Minimum
| `$10` per second remaining
|-
| Money needed
| Cash in hand
|-
| [[Bank]] money
| Does not work for `/payjailfine`
|}
</div>
[[Settings]] can control automatic jail fine payment and max payment.

== Inside Law Jail ==

Jailed players can:

* change skin
* use CJ clothes
* choose a walkstyle
* switch fight styles
* use the [[gambling]] machines

== Escaping Law Jail ==

A jailed player can escape if a helicopter lands inside the prison yard.

Criminals and gangsters can help prisoners escape:

# Go to the jail near Skate Park and [[Jefferson Hospital]].
# Be on the [[Criminal]] or [[Gangster]] side.
# Enter the white marker.
# Stay there for `10` seconds.
# The gate opens.

Helping prisoners escape gives `25` wanted level.

== Prison Release ==

Prison release is a Protected Area.

Wanted players can only jog there. Police can still tase and arrest there. Recently damaged wanted players stay vulnerable briefly to stop abuse.

== Staff Punishment Jail ==

Staff punishment jail is separate from law jail. It is a rule punishment used by staff, and staff choose the jail time based on the offense.

Players jailed by admin cannot escape the prison.
