' Wrote:I always assumed the prisoners commodity as the 'civilian' side of things, since PoW's carry diplomatic weight in a way, at least for Houses and certain opportunistic elements.Well, not only civilians. After all, you can get them from Battleship Concord (New-Hampshire) too. I doubt you can find many civilians around there (a distant supposed-to-be-frontline). From there they can be delivered to Huntsville/Sugarland, so Jeremy was right about the RM, I guess.

Forced labour camps, most propably.
Sairs/casts most likely execute them.

Isn't forced labor against the Geneva convention or similar treaty? I can see it happening outside of Houses though.

The BDM turns their PoWs into Slaves then sells them to Outcasts.

While I cannot vouch for this as a canonized lore standpoint, I always role played the Rheinland Liberty conflict as something more brutal than what it stands in the great book of war.
Theoretically, prisoners Rheinland takes are sent to Vierlande station, but it's lore-wise a rather harsh and brutal fortress with forced labor and prisoner abuse. In light of that, putting your captive out of his misery may be better for him than sending him to a station from where he's not likely to ever get out from. During my career as a commander in the Rheinwehr, I often instructed my men not to take prisoners either.
The IMG-RM conflict is somewhat different though, we specifically agreed with each other to avoid abusing POWs here.

The modern US prison systems are privately owned, and they used forced labor as a kind of legal slavery.
Capitalism is great, isn't it?

Nope, I was referring to real life US. They actually do employ legal slavery.
I'd assume that Liberty does the same though.
