And also "break you out the jail for a fee" specialists.

Some would turn escape into a spectacle.
The most dearing thieves go into the most terrible prisons just to escape.
Given that worse crimes offer harsher punishments, the dare devils commit horrific crimes like mass murder or even high treason just to be put under more security.

- Jails become more inescapable

- Alternatives to jail time are given out

- Jails are redefined

- Jails are now places people want to be

People would start taking the law into their own hands.

Nice "justice" system you have there.

That too. If it's a modern/futuristic setting, I can imagine it becoming some kind of reality show. You'd have some celebrities popping up, inclusing the Bear Grylls of prisons: the man who was once imprisoned for breaking and entering a prison.

So officers of the law would have to start wearing anti-groping clothing, with all spikes in particular places?

Why not have the reality show as an ongoing thing people could volunteer for, and also use it as a criminal punishment system?

The question is how do you work a large scale incarceration system as also a popular tri-d show?

Same as soccer.

This is starting to sound a lot like The Running Man.

I dont know about some, but I'd run it like Crystal Maze. There are different areas, requiring the criminal to clear it.
Depending on the convicts crimes you make it nigh-impossible to clear, or difficult but entirely possible.

The criminal must clear each area before going to the final trial, that would be an endurance test.

Capital punishment becomes a hell of a lot more common.

But the reality TV idea is actually pretty great, would be cool to run a game where the players' bread and butter is sponsorship for breaking out of increasingly tough prisons.

What would be cool is if the TV network had somehow wangled it such that they didn't have to show the prison guards their tapes ever, meaning that they can film intimate details of the plans to escape in the run-up to the actual spectacle, and only air it the following season, or perhaps have an Oceans-11 style recap at the end of each season explaining exactly what the plan was and how it went down.
