What class to pick for a capturing build?


Advice


I am building a new character for PFS. Idea is that he is going to 'teach' the Pathfinders how -not- to be a murderhobo!

So he catches everything...and I mean -everything-.

Things I have figured out up to now:

1. He will have some animal (companion?) drag around a Huge Wagon with on that a Huge iron cage as a mobile prison. (the official 'mobile prison' is to vague in it's description to be of use)
This iron cage prison will later on be upgraded to a Huge Adamantine cage (dunno how much that'll cost me in PFS, but hey :). Wrapped around it will be a Net (as per the weapon) with the Ghost Touch ability, or more to cover the entire size.
This prison will be able to hold incorporeals like shadows and ghosts, ready for transport and will hold huge creatures too.

2. He will use a Mancatcher, Ghost Touch enchanted, to catch stuff to throw in his prison.

Now, with that: What class/build should I use?

Criteria:
- Nonlethal damage: He needs to do that...and do that good.

- Must be able to slap on Dimensional Shackles on a Glabrezu, or cast a very high DC/reroll Dimensional Anchor on it on higher levels, so he can capture them even! (I don't want the bugger to just teleport out of my grapple/tie up with ropes) - or otherwise capture it.

- Preferrable a 'Tanky' Baton and Shield build, since I'm emulating a Riot Police kinda guy. This is not a must.

- Spellcasting way to capture foes in that prison is fine too.

- Diplomacy (wanna convince people not to see killing as first option all the time), Sence Motive, Perception, Survival and Heal are preferrable skills to be good at.

What do you guys advice me to do? I'm soooo stuck! Thanks for helping me think about it.
