SCALLOP 2-week special

The "SCALLOP 2-Week Special" is a form of alternative sentencing of convicted criminals, featuring in The Gerosha Chronicles of Dozerfleet Comics. It is employed as a trope similar to the "Bail Equals Freedom" trope more typically used in Disney productions. Those who have committed minor offenses, but that are clearly determined to be anything other than intentional villains, or whose offenses are deemed circumstantially justifiable, may apply for a 2-week special, with SCALLOP intervention, as an alternative to going through a regular trial and possibly facing hefty fines or longer incarceration times. The 2-week special may also be used by heroes that are on the SDCPM as a form of protective custody when they get in over their heads.
