If the crime calls for imprisonment, then the guard will try to put the prisoner in [[jail]]; if no jails are available, the guard will "downgrade" the punishment to a beating (giving the guard a happy thought and the injured party an unhappy thought). If the crime calls for hammerstrikes, then the Hammerer will attach the prisoner to a restraint before carrying out the sentence; if no justice restraints are available, the punishment will be downgraded to a beating. All punishments will give the criminal an unhappy thought (and the guard/Hammerer a happy thought). |
Note that it is usually not a good idea to train your guards to physical perfection if you want your dwarves to survive beatings; furthermore, due to a bug, guards will ''use their weapons'' when delivering beatings{{bug|1016}}, so equipping them with steel blades is fatal. Wooden crossbows (especially those made of [[feather tree|feather wood]]) make an easily accessible and excellent weapon choice, as this will not reduce the effectiveness of the Fortress Guard in actual combat - the Guard will fire bolts at enemies, but will use the crossbows as clubs for Justice beatings. An [[adamantine]] crossbow could potentially be even better, though it is far more difficult to make. | Note that it is usually not a good idea to train your guards to physical perfection if you want your dwarves to survive beatings; furthermore, due to a bug, guards will ''use their weapons'' when delivering beatings{{bug|1016}}, so equipping them with steel blades is fatal.
