There are races which can not build labor camps or mines. What if they get
somehow a cash bonus per released prisoner?

Would it be ok att all?
And if yes which auxiliary rules had to be introduced to let the thing work?

It could be some kind of re-education center which would turn captured
homicidal space aliens into productive members of the community :). Not
unlike the UEA building. Say, a rehabilitation center which would make
about a quarter of the money as a labor camp (damn human working
conditions), with the same 'deathrate'. Deathrate would actually be the
rate in which prisoners are turned into own colonists.

A nice gimmick for all cultural melting pots like the Feds, CoM and
Rebels, which incidently coincides with your list of 'good' races. Feds
and CoM would get some desperatly needed additional money, and Rebels,
well, hm, would perhaps have to be decreased in other aspects (say
cantinas). Of course some 3rd party races might be candidates, too.

In most other respects this building could work exactly like the labor
camp. Escapees spreading havoc (i.e. riots and accidents), and Robots
and Cyborgs difficult/impossible to convert.

I don't know if I agree with making money from prisoners directly for
these so called good races. But I do agree there should be benefits for
capturing prisoners besides the obvious unhappiness generating aspect
for ones enemies.

I personally would like to see some sort of system like Lord Owl's
where they get absorbed into the population. I don't want to see money
made from this directly, though indirectly the increased taxes and such
will of course come into play. The effect of such an absorbation may be
increased crime that is a result of ethnic problems within the
population.

well well. I learn something new about this game everyday. Prisoners
make non slave camper races money. For some reason I never ever
considered this possiblity. I wonder what other little tricks are out
there?
