Welcome to the Permabrig
This will be your home for most of the shift until you get parole or are dragged off by security at shift end or escape (as long as you get the green-light from ahelp). You spawn in here at round start, but will have to walk to security to be imprisoned if you join mid-shift. Depending on the station, there is usually a garden, a basketball hoop, a small laundromat, some sanitary facilities, plenty of dorm rooms, and a fully functioning cafeteria with arcade. There is some food, along with a Microwave in the kitchen, but don't expect Nanotrasen to provide much for you. After all, you ARE a criminal. If you are looking to cause some chaos, get creative with your surroundings to get some valuable crafting materials.
Ideally, since you are the single job without any duties or obligations, you should be making a backstory for yourself to keep yourself sane. If you're one of the poor saps who spawn in without a cellmate, well, no luck in having much fun.
Spawning in
Make sure to ask your heroic LEOs for a PDA and a headset (or even a station-bound radio). You do not spawn with either of these, and having these will keep you up-to-date on the latest cosmic horror casually snuffing out employees that are only two days away from retirement.
Finally, it isn't like the Prisoner role is devoid of action. You can, along with your fellow prisoners, engineer a jailbreak for example, only if given proper reasoning to. Breaking out because you've been alone for ten minutes isn't allowed, but an officer stealing all of your fun toys for themselves... Or if the station is going to hell and it's clear that it's not going to recover. If this has happened, the station's probably fucked either way, so there's no fear of you being a liability.
If you decide that you do not want to be a prisoner anymore, bring up the possibility of Parole to the nearest officer that can hear you. Make sure that your backstory justifies parole even being a possibility for you. Parole is more likely if you make yourself a low-risk prisoner in for graffiti than a high-risk prisoner charged with genocide.
