Yes, after you went through all the trouble to capture them, they can stumble into a nest of Cazadors and become acquainted with the painful end of their stingers. To make matters even more complicated, these lowlifes aren't rendered invincible while running to turn themselves in. It's entirely possible during these encounters to not realize they're running at you to surrender until after you've turned their head into a pile of chunky salsa. Other times you have to go through the formality of shooting them a few dozen times before they're willing to beg for their lives listen to reason. SPECIAL Stats like Charisma and Perception also play a roll at times, as do things like Melee Weapons, Unarmed, etc.) in which case they just end the conversation, put on the collar themselves, and turn themselves in. Some you can talk down or threaten if certain skills are high enough (Not always Speech. To get the collar on them, however, is done in many different ways. Essentially, once the collar is on, they run from their current location across the wasteland to the jail, upon which you will receive a notification that they have turned themselves in. You're given a shock collar at the beginning which, when used on a captured outlaw, 'Encourages' them to turn themselves in with the strategic application of 50,000 volts if they select a different course of action. Not all targets can be taken alive, but those that can can be captured in a variety of ways. But, just like the buzzkills from the REAL Old West, your handler gives you a greater reward for bringing people in alive instead of turning them into a fine red paste to be used in crafting recipes. Sometimes it's just too entertaining to shoot a man and his entire gang, drag their corpses into a pile, then discover just how you can turn that pile of sadness into a joyful rain with the power of high explosives. 'Why would I take any of these scumbags in alive?' We're all thinking that.
