<====== What this simple mod does:Brings back the old Oblivion jail system to Skyrim! Now when you serve your time in jail, random stats will be decreased, according to how much days you spent in prison.This mod simulates the tough life in prison; the more time you have to serve, the more broken and tired your character will be. Some of his/her skills will randomly decrease, sometimes only slightly, sometimes a lot more.

If you spend a lot of time in prison, there is also a very slight and rare chance that you meet another prisoner who will teach you a thing or two.
All in all, this mod has two purposes. The first one is the nostalgia factor of the previous game(s). The second one is to make the prison system in Skyrim something more than just a middle annoyance. Now this is a pretty hardcore experience that awaits unexperienced Thieves and Assassins.
So, git gud and try not to get rekt.
I recommend Mod Organizer or Nexus Mod Manager to install this mod.
Enjoy guys!

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- Random stat decreases might feel unfair if you lose progress in a key skill.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the jail system or crime mechanics.
For Skyrim players who want a more punishing crime system and miss Oblivion's harsh jail penalties. If you prefer a forgiving experience or use mods that overhaul crime, this might not fit.

- Check if your other mods modify the jail system to avoid conflicts.
- Consider pairing with a crime overhaul mod for a more immersive experience.
