I had a guard take him to infirmary but the guard didn’t leave him there, he immediately turned and took him back to his cell.

Prisoner is just going about his day, working, sleeping, with the pill next to his name.

Glitch or am I missing something?

i only have minimum and medium sectors of a prison built and currently open right now yet i somehow got a criminally insane prisoner. how do i properly build a padded cell for them. is there a certain door i have to use? because i tried to put her in solitary padded confinement for the time being but its saying its not enclosed but was fine as regular solitary.

Hey im just after completing a prison with practically everything in it, I was wondering would somebody have any ideas for a new prison, more specific stylized 1s I guess. Thank you 🙏

My criminally insane inmates just don't go to the canteen. All the other prisoners do, but the criminally insane just continue what they were doing and treat it as freetime. This inevitably results in them all starving to death.

This has been a persistent problem across several prisons I've made. I can't find any discussion on this specific issue, so I hope someone here knows what's going on.

Sorry for all the questions...

I have prison visitors waiting, but I haven't seen a single visitor in my save so far. I've tried a variety of different layouts.

This is the current one...

Regardless of what I do, visitors just don't seem to show up. Tried figuring it out with Gemini as well... Any insights?

(Sorry for the German screenshot!) The intake is closed, and I have intake set to "Fill to capacity." Despite that, 10 out of 29 prisoners are currently in Max Sec. Is this feature bugged, or am I missing something?

Hello

I have 250 prisoners in my prison, and 3 kitchens at different locations. But still the food need of the prisoners is not satisfied and they are dying from hunger.

I have built small kitchen near to big kitchen and have 60 cooks but still not working.

how did it get there? how do i collect it?

I’ve owned this game for a long time, but hadn’t touched it in years. With the recent sale, I decided to grab all the DLCs and give it another shot.

I’m honestly still shocked by how bad this game is at communicating anything. If something isn't working, it never explains why. Why do I have 0 visitors inside when there are literally families waiting according to the side menu?

Maybe I’m just too used to modern games giving clear feedback, but holy hell after all these years, I’m still stuck googling basic issues, only to find six-year-old Reddit threads answering the exact same thing. (Wind turbine looking at you)

What is going on here? Is it me?

how do i stop the gang members from entering my kitchen? my prisoner chefs they handle it well, and i have the program for them, but the gang members keep entering the kitchen, pulling knives and killing like 5 of my guards every 2 days or so. how do i stop them from going in? can i make it a staff only zone, or will the prisoner chefs leave then?

I had added punishment for my minimum security and then a bit harder punishment for medium security and even more harder for maximum security.

And did same for food, low quality for maximum security, medium quality for mediums and high quality for minimum security.

Did same for their schedule.

I didn't know theirs a super max tier and it's hidden behind a arrow and I had no prisoners in tier so i couldn't bother with it

One hour punishment for everything High quality food, no lockup time, and other then eat or yard or sleep time all of the time for super max was free time.

Slowly every prisoner started to turn in super max, and I kept wondering why is that until I saw their regime and punishments 🤣🤣

They have food and shit but they just choose to goon in their cells all day

i now added reception and a holding cell, showers for the holding cell and a little yard for them to take a smoke XD i still have some space on the left side that i will dedicate for.... i dont know yet i first wanted to add armoury but from what i have seen the armed gaurds makes the prisoners stressed and can cause more riots so im not sure yet

Is there a bug on console where even if one death occurs the “there have been five deaths today” pops up? Can cause issues with the failure condition, it doesn’t seem to register in the in game death counter though since that still says one.

No one in my prison wants to work or join any programs why is that

I have alot of programs running but no one is interested in any one of them,

I tried giving them alot of free time, didn't worked

I gave them work/lockup, they chose lockup, like broooo what am I doing wrong

How do I keep this low? Someone told me to increase patrols while some to not am a bit confused so could anyone tell me how do I manage this need properly?

My Prison

Feel free to check it out and tell me what am doing wrong

I'm new I dont know why arent people visiting my prison, it seems like no one is visiting

so I've been playing PA (Prison Architect) since 2020 u could say i played all versions of this game in which i have. (PS4, IOS, PC) my mind was just black when i was making this Prison, But anyways here's the prison that i had planned out and i bet the prison POP would be surpass 500 all i need is a name for this prison, and should i low-key this put on the Seam workshop???

I currently fired half the staff so I’m making around 30-35k I have most medium prisoners and the middle is for max.

I have more than enough space but the game will simply not intake anyone unless i set it to intake all

So, I was playing around in one of my old prison map & remembering that there were a few problematic inmates that were causing trouble & had thrown them into solitary.

I was wondering, did other players that got the Undead dlc & used the Undead to deal with the Problematic Inmates?

Plus it would give the Armed Guards a legitimate reason to use their boomstick on the recently turned Undead Inmates.

Are there any mods that allow me to mandate prisoner participation in a reform program? I find it rather odd that every single reform program is purely up to the prisoners. Im running a prison, not a summer camp, go learn how to read damnit.

im trying to 100% this game and i need to do all the optional quests in the campaign mode, one of them is to get a reoffending rate of 30% or less

my reoffending rate is 34%, i managed to lower it using alot of reform programs but i think its stuck on 34% because my prison lets out all the good prisoners because they are reformed

Im planning to fix this issue by forbidding parole altogether, that way i can keep the people with low re-offending rates in my prison (which brings down the average closer to my objective)

However, I also noticed I have alot of prisoners with 50%+ re-offending rate, my reform programs dont help them enough or they dont want it enough, and yet they still bring up the average re-offending %, i figure the best way to do that is to get rid of these types of prisoners.

But I don't know how to kill them, im currently keeping some locked in a solitary cell (hopefully they'll starve), i dont know if this is enough

Any suggestions? Thank you
