After 20 days, he'll be asked to conscript again. If he refuses, he'll be sent to jail again. This will continue till either he agrees to conscription or the military stops requiring him.

    I was under the impression that you'd be sent to prison for a fixed number of days. Can they really keep someone in prison indefinitely for this?

      Yeah. You're sent to prison for a limited time, then you are asked again. As long as you keep refusing, you keep being sentenced. This only ends if you agree or they stop asking for some reason, like the end of the war or with a court order or something like that.

      I guess, it's not really asking. It's mandatory conscription.

        Yeah, that definitely changes the calculation. I thought it was just 30 days in prison and you're done, but this could be years, especially if the government has the incentive to try and make and example out of you.

        I guess it makes those conscientious objectors even braver than I thought.

          At some point I would think you would just accede to conscription and then teamkill as many IOF as you can before they kill you
