IN NEED OF REWRITING:
Political system: Democratic. Governor > Senators > [District] Representatives.
Police Force: Sentinels [Governmental Agency] (Hunters/Mortals) who answer to their Commander. A small council of high ranking Sentinel function as Judges.
Views on Vampires: Vampires are a dangerous sub-class of society; while arguments on one side advocate for equality and full societal integration, others fear and hate them, seeking to further oppress them or even exterminate them.
Vampires outlook toward mortals: Inclusive - their survival is a requirement for our own survival.
Justice system: Administered by Sentinels, punishment fits the crime where ever possible. Small crimes, such as destruction of property, domestic violence without significant injury, etc - one may be sentenced to make restitution (ex: repairing or replacing damaged property, as well as working off the raw materials required to do so via "Work Detail" to be explained later). Significant injury to person may require the convicted to work both his share as well as their victim's share until the victim is fully healed. This may also be in addition to restitution. Theft may require restitution of up to 10 times the stolen property's value. For serious crimes, the convicted's property may be seized, and they may be put on Work Detail, consisting of anything the city needs for a duration specified by the judging council. For the most severe crimes such as premeditated murder, the sentence may be recycling. Convicted of such a crime and sentenced to recycling, a convict's body is harvested of any organs useful for medical purposes, the remainder of their body sent to biomass to be broken down for fuel.
On rare occasion, when recycling isn't an option, and the convict may be too dangerous or difficult to control, exile from the city may be used as an alternative at the judging council's discretion.
