"That's how we'll spin it."

"The rule for prison conditions is that they're allowed to transfer, is that going to be a concern?"

"To any others within the system?"

"Yes - couple places requested the swap infrastructure make it possible to separate co-conspirators and so on, we can accommodate that -"

"Does this mean we have to shut down the prisons that manage themselves by only allowing in certain applicants or is it only the other way around -?"

"No, no, that's fine, it's if they didn't let people leave that would be a problem."

"So we can still have one-caste prisons just fine - yeah I think we can get that through all right."

"One-caste prisons are just Amentans but there are lots of countries that offered something unique and as long as prisoners prefer it to something that meets our standards it wouldn't make sense to say it fails to meet them."

"What else is like that?"

"Various religions that offer a monastic retreat kind of thing, single-gender is of course a popular option, there's a place with chips like ours that has the victims record the experience of the crime that they had and send it so the criminal experiences it too, which sounds horrible to us but rather few of them transfer out, there's a cultural belief that once you've lived a mistake a hundredfold it's like it never touched you."

"Never touched you?"

Shrug. "Like - the victim will consider it as if you are a stranger and not the person who harmed them, employers won't consider it, God won't care for the ones who believe in that..."

"Huh."

"They do have really low recidivism - but I don't think it'd work for anyone else, runs off too much cultural stuff."

"Anyway, we can let people move to alien prisons if they like."

"Great! Is the death penalty thing going to be a concern aside from the extradition side -"

"The age limit? It's weird but in an orthogonal way to most of what we care about I think."

Nod. "It's very rare but technically legal for one polity to request a resurrection of somebody someone else executed."

"Do they then have to serve some lesser sentence?"

"Usually comes up when there's a disagreement about whether they did anything illegal."

"Is there some process to appeal it or can they just go behind our backs...?"

"We'd notify you the request was made, you can file an injunction and then argue they're a danger or it'll damage deterrence or they're not equipped to retry the case appropriately."

Nod.

"Is there anything else that'd be useful from us at this stage?"

"I think we're about set but I may have more questions as things move."
