Great idea. Allow for boxes, ellipses, arrows and text and you have all the tool you really need. Put it on a separate overlay that you can always show, even when setting up patrols. Having different colors would be nice but not neccessary.

Not to mention that the steam forums don't get the same level of developer attention as this one i reckon

This could go well together with another suggestion here on the forums: named cellblocks. If you could name a few regions, you could assign those regions to the prisoner regime: making an "Eat" regime with a CellBlockA region would mean he can do whatever is available in CellBlockA if he's...
