this dlc actively harms my enjoyment of the game by issuing $5000 fines every time a prisoner is released and reoffends. min sec prisoners usually arrive at your prison with a prison sentence averaging around 7 years, of which they have served most of already. meaning that even without providing parole for prisoners with a reoffending rate that's too high, prisoners will be released against your will and reoffend which nets you a fine you literally can't avoid. these fines slow down your reform efforts which develops into a terrible snowball that overall just slows the game down and makes it less fun. they never fixed this despite overwhelming feedback and, more offensively, never even added an option to disable it when you're creating a new prison. don't buy this. i never even built any of the new rooms added because i simply didn't have the money to after all these fines.
