[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 5068830, member: 2209"] Because he's been the security supervisor there for nearly twenty years yet only implemented the ban after being tipped off about this alleged D&D gang. The chain of events was: 1 He's in charge of prison security for more than a decade with no policy on RPGs. 2 Inmates play RPGs for two years with no problem. 3 Anonymous letter asks him to investigate that D&D gang. 4 He decides to do so and confiscates their D&D material 5 A month later he issues a letter to inmate explaining RPGs are now banned, followed by a prison bulletin to that effect. If he had previously had experience with RPGs in prison and thought they were a threat to prison security then I would generally assume, as he was the prison's security supervisor for nearly twenty years, he would have implemented the no RPG policy when he first concluded they were a possible threat. Why would you assume he would have experience with them, consider them a possible threat, and do nothing for years and allow them to go on? Then change position and implement a no RPG policy after acting on the tip off about Singer's D&D gang? [/QUOTE]
