0005172: Hammering gets downgraded to beating if no restraint (rope/chain) has been built

Notes
(0019777) Orkel2 (reporter) 2012-02-16 06:28	Yeah, this is a problem. My vampire got sentenced to 200 days in prison for two murders. No death sentence. I locked him in so he can't strike again, but he doesn't seem to be dying of thirst/hunger so all I can do is to keep him imprisoned behind the locked door for eternity.

(0021132) HammerDave (reporter) 2012-03-05 10:56	Building a restraint (iron chain in my case) resolved the problem, for the next murder. The hammerer dragged the accused to a chain, went to get a hammer, and then started whacking away. I'd like to leave this in bug status though. Instead of just downgrading the sentence, shouldn't we get a cancel message with "no restraint available"? Back in the day when the most common kind of criminal was a random craftsdwarf charged with violating production orders due to an unreasonable demand, it made sense to exploit the justice system to force downgraded sentences. But now, when a vampire kills my legendary stonecrafter I want justice. There is also opportunity for a more dwarven response from the hammerer. We should get a "build a restraint" demand and he should go nuts if you don't satisfy it. :D But that's new function IMO.

(0023664) Quietust (reporter) 2012-10-17 09:17	HammerDave: A variant of "build a restraint" actually exists in the form of an unhappy thought for the Sheriff/Captain of the Guard if you have insufficient jails, though it's currently broken due to 0005844. Perhaps a variant could be added to the Hammerer that insists on a certain number of jails being restraints instead of cages.
