Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kahuna Burger" data-source="post: 4069272" data-attributes="member: 8439">One of my neighbors works in a prison where some D&D materials are allowed. IIRC, some of the initial objections were pretty silly, (though in fairness, preventing favoritism is probably a pretty big priority in prison, thus making a certain dogmatism in interpreting rules understandable) but the situation of one prisoner being an authority over others was an issue as well. Which is why he's a popular DM.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  (having a guard as the DM also could help avoid the potential issues of consequence free violence and increasing power giving you  less responsibility to authority, which imo are game/DM specific issues as much as system ones.) IMO, your best bet would be to look at prisons which do allow D&D*, rather than more general studies. People here love to say things like "Anyone who would be effected by D&D has problems already" which is probably true in most cases, but then when they go on to say "and would have the same problem with anything else" it really isn't. All activities do not have the same potential problems, and prison officials are in a position to be both aware of and very concerned with that fact. *I'm fairly sure my neighbor works at a Massachusetts prison, but our town is on the border with RI, so that's not out of the question either.</blockquote>
