Within the first minute of gameplay, I picked an UZI from the ground, proceeded to unload a full mag on a fellow inmate, ripping his whole left arm in the process. Guards accepted a bribe of 60 dollars so that they don't take me to court. After that, the same inmate wanted to pick a fight with me, but he just collapsed into the floor. 10/10 MDickie hasn't lost his touch
