I think you should then also be able to rename the game to "Guantanamo Architect" - as it would not be called a prison anymore as I myself would define in so-called 'western' society.

So a shed then works similar to the other "jobs" rooms - there can be more workers per roomtile as they are working outside.
Room requirement could be a tool rack - yet another source of contraband.

As much as I want this as well - When I build a cell/room I don't want to wait until one of my inmates passes carpentry course and is producing the desired item(s). Alternative is that you can have a stock room (or make the storage room be used as such) where you can indicate for a small number of i...

- Did you update graphics / mouse drivers?
- Are you running any mods?
- Does issue still occur when you are in windows safe mode?

Without suggesting new kinds of contraband (there already plenty of ideas) we should think of how the existing ones could be balanced. In general, isolating prisoners from contraband is a bit too easy. Some rooms (Laundry etc) create no contraband, provided there are enough dogs and metal detectors...

What happened to 'One suggestion per post?'

Make sure you have a completely fenced/walled off prison - otherwise when they leave their cells they are automatically labeled as escaping.

We have the reputation system where prisoners have really distinguishing traits - but what about the general behaviour of the rest of the population? Usually people have some general characteristics that define how they react in situations. Also, if a prisoner does not have a specific reputation, th...

A prisoner named "Mylenario "Fenix" Mytologic" came to my prison because of joyriding. He was going to stay in my prison for 2 years. One day he got tired of my good prison freedom and decided to kill one of my guards and tried to escape. I think that Introversion did a great jo...

I think employees get struck enough as it is

I don't like it - no kids being killed in this game please!

A guard policy as such would probably put the focus away from the prisoners - but the core point is that there is no permanent penalty for shooting prisoners that misbehave - only a temporary one in valuation. Suspension of guards is complex (do they leave during a riot?) - alternative could be that...

LOL!

I would really hope eventually we'll be able to design the whole map layout! It annoys me that my starting point is always the same and restricts my design layouts due my own obsession with symmetry. :| *Crosses fingers* If it is symmetry you want - maybe option is to have the road go left to right...

Yes it seems that when they exit their cells in this setup then they could immediately escape onto the road - may be a bug or something devs did not expect users to do..
