Rough Idea:
Have rarely seen this feature used, but maybe increasing the availability of bail and revamping the bail system could help counter frustrations of people sitting in jail, waiting weeks for a trial.
Allow them to be released while waiting for their trial with limitations such as a semi-permanent attachment to their character like an ankle monitor set by staff until the trial date or a different coloured name above their head to help police monitor people on bail.
An idea to make bail more readily available could include the process being entirely done through discord and google docs/forms without either party having to be in the city, using a format similar to the name changes (Name, Proof of payment...). Once the courts receive the funds they will add a note to a channel similar to the #name-changes, showing that the person has paid and are allowed to be released on bail so staff can remove them from the state pen faction and return them to the one they were in prior.
The bail could be paid by a third party (typically the faction they're apart of), and the bail will be refunded back to the account which paid them when the person attends the trial, if the person doesn't show up to court, the party that paid bail will not receive a refund and will be entitled to PK the person on bail.
This could open the door for new bail bond companies that can profit of this system, along with making the court process (trials) more enjoyable, without having to spend weeks locked up in a cell.
