More Prisoners?

[finalmike]

Is there a way to alter the game code in a save file to increase your prisoner intake to massive amounts? Im trying to build a 1000 prisoner facility and they keep getting released, the intake is SOOOO slow.

Yeah open your save game in notepad (bottom of load screen has a link). Search for "BEGIN Intake" then there's 4 rows or so of "begins" in there for min sec, max sec, etc. Set the pool to 1k and it will bring in as many as it can handle over the next few days. I did this recently with my prison too and it took approx 2 or 3 days to fill (that said I got 30 in at first because I wanted to do that nutrition grant before I had lots of people to get angry lol). Here's what my code looks like right now, so you know what you're looking for (my prison is max only):

Code: Select all

        BEGIN i          PrisonerCategory MinSec  Pool 2  Ratio 0.0000000  NextIntake 0  Queue 0  NumNITGs 0  END
        BEGIN i          PrisonerCategory Normal  Pool 6  Ratio 0.0000000  NextIntake 0  Queue 0  NumNITGs 0  END
        BEGIN i          PrisonerCategory MaxSec  Pool 100  Ratio 1.000000  NextIntake 32  Queue 0  NumNITGs 0  END
        BEGIN i          PrisonerCategory DeathRow  Pool 100  Ratio 0.0000000  NextIntake 0  Queue 0  NumNITGs 0  END
