Is there a reason the ransom when you first get in prison is always higher than the gold you have? If the purpose is to force you to stay in prison for a day, why not just make it a full day before being able to ransom? The ransom being higher just seem silly to me.
I have also never played a Judge, do they set their own ransoms? And I have just had douchebag judges imprison me? lol

Honestly, I've never entirely understood the rationale behind the ransom calculations. Without looking at the relevant code, I think that there are certain cases where you can end up with a ransom that's payable the first day, but it's rare.
They are, however, entirely set by the game; judges have no say whatsoever in how high they are.
We've talked a few times about changing how they work, allowing for more important prisoners to be kept for longer and held for higher ransoms, but it's never been a high priority.

Doesn't it allow you to have your family pay twice the ransom? Meaning that first day with a too high ransom for you to pay, would actually allow you to pledge double of that with your family?
Not entirely sure.

I think that starts a day later, but I'm not 100% sure. I haven't looked at that code in a long time.

Yeah I am pretty sure the double family payment pops up after you have been there for a day or so.
