I also think there should be an option to attached these binds willingly to show compliance. If your trying to bind them its clear murder isn't your first choice so give them the option to be gracious.
I like this most for transport (since you can make a steel cage for outside now). I was so angry when my char was trying not to kill a char and take it back to his spawn place only for said char not to let me by messing with the van. Seriously Samwell you got the death you deserved on that one. Dummy!
If you want to lock someone up in the center of town its not that hard if you are willing to lose whatever you put them in. They take off, you chase them, or just let them go. It rids your town of pesky longboats, reed boats, kayaks and or wooden carts. I like this idea for those pesky chars that now must find someone to help them get out.
Im not a huge fan of gagging however, since mute chars are my least favorite to deal with. Telling my char to not speak is one thing, but to gag it perhaps its whole life? No thanks.
