Cell and prison design
Posted: Fri Aug 02, 2013 3:38 pm
Hey guys, I was wondering what kinds of designs for your cells and prisons you have come up with. Do you give them all the luxury they can ever want or are you just banging them into a 2x3 cell and mashing as many prisoners together as you can?
I had 2 prisons before the one I am running now, and they were screwed really fast because I had no idea what I was doing. The biggest problems for me were showers and recreation. I always got riots because they couldn't have enough recreation even though I had a big common room with dozens of TVs and bookshelves and 4 pool tables. It just didn't work. This is why I have moved my showers into the cells (which work amazing) and I've also put a TV in the cells. This took care of pretty much every problem I had. I don't get any riots anymore, not even after a full shakedown.
My cells:
My whole prison
As you can see, everything was carefully planned. The only place I kind of screwed up was the kitchen (it has to be adjecent to the canteen with a staff door in between. A hall between them really slows it down), which will moved slightly when I expand my map. The only thing is that they really want to shower when they wake up, but that's the first thing they can do so riots do stay out.
My regime:
With this regime, my workshop produces about 2k cash each day, which is more than enough, since the biggest cash is in the prisoners anyway.
Feel free to comment on my designs and post your own
it would be fun to see what everyone is creating!
