I am now at the point where I am finally escaping through the toilets into the back room and am planning how to steal some sheets. This game has a very old school classic prison movie feel to it with all the stereotypes you could imagine.

The theme of stereotyping inmates and the prison itself in the game could be an interesting place to explore in context with the game developers. Do game developers have an ethical duty to defy stereotypes in the content of their games? Is there harm in portraying something such as prisoners in a stereotypical fashion in games? There is a lot more to potentially explore in the game in terms of ethics but these are just a few of the questions that popped into my head when reading your gamelogs.
