Initial Release

This mod adds a new sheriff's office to Stardew Valley, one which has been closed down for some time but will soon welcome the return of a former Pelican Town resident, and his new deputy. By building trust with the new sheriff's office residents and completing tasks, the farmer will finally be able to put the criminals of Stardew Valley behind bars where they belong! With the current release, potential jail candidates include:
Pierre
Lewis
Clint
Pam
Morris
Next up: Demetrius
Have a soft spot for Pam? Think Lewis gets a bad rap? Don't hate Pierre for some reason? All jailable characters can be individually configured in the options to turn off their arrest events. And if you throw someone in jail and feel bad about it later, a new shrine in the Witch's Hut can help the prisoners escape justice. Use of "Generic Mod Config Menu" is recommended for managing configuration options.
Important: New farmers will initially encounter the sheriff's office as a run-down, abandoned building. This building will become unlocked and inhabited during the first year, after the Summer Luau event. The delay before the building is opened can be modified in the configuration file.
For questions and comments, use the posts tab or visit the LawAndOrder subreddit.
Two new dateable marriage candidate NPCs with thousands of lines of dialogue, plus immersive events, daily schedules, special orders, and more!
Russell
Russell returns to Pelican Town as Sheriff, after serving in the war against the Gotoro Empire.
Russell is thoughtful, protective, and spiritual. He enjoys chatting, studying, cooking, and the outdoors.
Runs the counter shop on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
Supports and spends time with Kent after his return.
Occasional workout buddy of Alex.
Shannon
Shannon meets Russell in Zuzu City and joins him in Pelican Town as his eager deputy.
Shannon is smart, sweet, and sassy. She makes friends easily and has several indoor and outdoor interests.
Runs the counter shop on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
Enjoys locking up lawbreakers and dishonest shopkeepers.
Occasional gaming buddy of Abigail.
Advance your friendship with the new residents and complete their special orders to unlock new cooking/crafting recipes and other rewards. Show off your farm's prize produce with the new "Velvet Rope Fence", or keep it locked up behind the new "Security Fence" (both durable fence options that will seldom if ever require repair)
Finally, bring peace to Pelican Town after being terrorized by Pierre's shady shenanigans. As the primary victim of Pierre's villainous exploits, you'll have a direct hand in bringing him to justice, and even choosing how long he remains locked up. And don't worry, should he complete one stint in the big house, you'll be able to send him back time and time again should he continue to make trouble.
Update: Pierre now has plenty of company in prison. View the full list above of potential prisoners. Each one comes with their own unique story, cut scenes, and repeatable arrest events. In future updates, certain other Pelican Town residents may be keeping Pierre company, should they run afoul of the law.
Every effort has been made to ensure full compatibility with the popular NPC mod Stardew Valley: Expanded. This includes avoiding schedule and festival conflicts. If you encounter any inconsistencies, please let me know.
General Mod Compatibility: This mod makes significant updates to prisoner schedules, and makes a few small updates to the Town map and the Clinic, along with minor sprite additions to Clint and Vincent for certain events. It should be compatible with most other mods.
