How in the world is this abuse?  If it was intended for people only to
remain in prison for a day or two, it would have been coded that way.
People are getting spoiled by the constant agreement between realms of
things like "releasing prisoners after the second day".

I know I personally, when I was Judge, would try talking to my prisoners.
The ones that replied usually received better treatment and went home much
sooner.  The ones who never said a word weren't worth my IC (or OOC) time
and were left to rot.  Heck, that gave them more time to reply, but it
almost never happened.
