Even if it could be useless, I will still use it because I like to keep a bit of control on my prisoners activities. I don't have much freetime set in my prisons (About 3 hours per day, without the non workers during Work time). And I want everybody to go out at least 1 hour per day, purely a person...

I just replace all yard time with free time. Yard time is useless at the moment. I don't find it useless and it works for me. I like yard time because it let me the time to do a cell block search without having to search prisoners that would be here if on free time (to avoid searching them without ...

Yes it would work. It could be an issue if you decide later to expand your prison and you have no more room to make bigger rooms due to the layout, but it is totally possible.

Hmm I think no staff other than guards, armed guards, dog handlers and the Chief of security should have lethal weapons. Workers definitely should have no weapon at all in my opinion (they could maybe, even if I'm not a fan of this idea, wear a stabbing proof vest). They are not internal staff and I...

I read somewhere that 1:3 ratio for guards is quite good (30 prisoners = 10 guards). That's approximatively what I'm using right now and I don't have major issues, but it also depends on how many guards you will put in patrol / stationary. But I guess the best way to define how many guards you need ...

Regarding your shower issue: The drains have to be placed all around your door(s), not under the shower heads. The drains actually don't gather the water, they block it. If you have a single door like in your screenshot, you will need 3 drains, on the tiles # 4,5 and 6 of the bottom line of your sh...

There is a track within the sounds.dat file titled " don-palermos-theme.ogg " which could have been triggered through the mod / prison you downloaded, or it could have been triggered through a bug. Listen to the track, and see if that was what you were hearing. (You can open the sounds.da...

I know I was wrong by answering him the way I did, I already apologized I didn't want to be harsh. I answered his question also, but I shouldn't have posted it the way I did I agree. Again, sorry for this, I probably was in a bad mood but it's not an excuse.

I had a prison where I had 450 dead in one day and no warning, you sure there aren't any other conditions?

Was your prison built before alpha 20 is out ? If yes, that's why.

No official soundtrack has been released yet. The music came from the prison you downloaded via Steam, you can probably find out how to trigger it by having a look in the folder of the mod you downloaded in your mods folder.

in most prisons, the prisoners are allowed to keep food and snacks in there cells. This would be cool Regarding this, the prisoners put in solitary and lockdown during eating time should receive a meal in their cells also. But it would be hard to implement (mainly due to the fact that ingame, lockd...

I presume your yard is defined as Yard area ?

I put weighting benches, phone boots and benches in my yard, so 3 needs can be satisfied.
