I still remember cursing aloud when I was first sent to prison in GTA 5 roleplay.
You see, unlike in regular Grand Theft Auto—story mode or Online—getting arrested in RP has consequences. Sure, you face the same trigger-happy cops when you fall foul of the law, where you’re pursued until either dead or in cuffs, and are then hit with the same ‘Wasted’ or ‘Busted’ mandates depending on the outcome of the chase. Assuming the latter transpires, however, you don’t simply receive a fine and a reset wanted star meter—in the majority of GTA RP servers, you instead respawn in the Bolingbroke penitentiary.
The magnitude of your crime determines the length of your stay as you pace around the recreation ground doing everything you can to avoid contact with anyone else, lest you find yourself punching lumps out of one another and extending your stay. Now, XmanStudios has introduced the whole ordeal to GTA 5 singleplayer by way of their mod, Jailbreak.
“Jailbreak is a GTA 5 script that adds a prison sentence system to singleplayer,” reads the mod’s description. “If the player dies or gets arrested while wanted, they are transported to Bolingbroke Penitentiary and must serve a sentence based on the wanted level they had at the time.
