mlieThe Beat Your Prisoners Mod adds a new “Break” work type that allows colonists to physically beat prisoners in order to reduce their resistance and speed up recruitment. The mod includes trait interactions, combat risks, mood effects, and compatibility with War Crimes Expanded 2 Core for players who want harsher prison management mechanics.

If a prisoner fights back, the beating continues until one pawn is downed.
