I'm just at the beginning of the game, but what a weird introduction;
"ladies and gentlemen, I tried corporal punishment, which didn't work, I tried shaming them in public, which didn't work, so I developed a brand new technic that is so efficient I needed to share it with you without testing it outside of the test group. it consists of corporal punishment and public shaming! It works" (I should have named the MC Todd Howard)
Yet, somehow, I'm pretty sure blackmail and threatening them to make them fail and sending them to either military or labour camps is somehow the key factor.
