LETS SHAKE EM DOWN!!!

[snarst]

Ok so my question is to all you players out there is what have your shakedowns come up with?

I started a new prison and I have started a shakedown. (Truth be told I just did it because I wanted to say out loud "Lets shake em down!") Something wasn't right, I thought I would have caught as least some contraband by now so just as they were settling in for the night and coming down from their "well fed" mood I started a shakedown and found

-a rake
-some drugs (I knew it!!!)
-a wooden spoon (whatever)
-a bag of money (what?)

Found anything interesting in yours?

Have you done a cavity search sir?

[Ailuro]

Interresting, you say? Well I do have one.
I figured that my prison would have some holes in security as I was still building up.
Once I had a decent amount of guards (10vs40 prisoners), I decided to a shakedown.
I found roughly 10 items of contraband.

The special find being a shotgun. Which was the prisoner had from the moment he was brought in.
Several metal-detectors were put in place straight away.

My first shakedown gave me this:

My first shakedown gave me this:

I had about 20/25 items found, they had to search 394 places, but it went pretty quick.

Just curious: how many prisoners do you have?

Does anyone else use bangup, Then shakedown? it's effective but it really pisses them off

About 140, but i've just added more cells to a 171 total. It's just that prisoners get released pretty fast, so it's hard getting your prison full.

I know exactly what you mean! I can't have more than 100, i'm always at about 85, they get released really fast indeed.

With my regime and big canteens and all i have my prison running sweet and never have riots again. Then a shakedown wont hurt you that much. Just temporarily you have some unnecessary searches.

I do shakedowns starting at midnight... my 16 guards can search the ~250 areas within 3 hours and then the prisoners sleep off their search irritation. Works good so far - admittedly this is only 80 prisoners so far.

Yea same as I did. And they are already in their cells, so it seems like a good moment.

Havn't had a huge amount on any of my shakedowns yet but this is my best smuggled item:-

So this guy walked right in the front door with a shotgun? That's fantastic.

[UKBenz]

Yep, made it all the way to his cell after setting off a metal detector.
