EXTREME WORLD OF CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
In Modos, the authorities are biased, corporations are greedy, and crime rates are higher than ever.
In trying to regulate a huge spike in crime, the level of punishment has been upped to an extreme for everyone.
Unfortunately, this has caused most government-run prisons to be overpopulated, underfunded, and in horrible conditions. Prisoners with long sentences will often die of malnutrition or illness before their sentence is over...
But now, they can apply to outsourced private companies that provide alternative forms of punishment.
BET AND FORGIVE
The most popular option for many inmates, and one of the most difficult to get into, is a game show that removes several inmates from the system entirely.
Welcome to BET AND FORGIVE, a game show that turns prisoners into contestants where they can gamble their way to freedom- A way for criminals to get themselves off death row, proving their lives' worth to the masses once and for all!
