Idea! A mutual cell!
Hello fellow architects!
After watching too many Oz episodes, it came to me that there should be regular cells that allow more than one prisoner.
I mean in fairly low security jails for examples there are 2-6 inmates in one cell, and even in high security ones there are usually 2 in a cell not one.
And since prisoner classification is already present in the next alpha, I think maybe they should add said cells where gen pops one can be stuffed in together, but high security will mostly be one lucky fellow in their tiny cell.

I am totally with this, but I think the number of prisoners in a cell should just come down to the number of beds in the cell. Whoever is housed where should be totally up to the Prison Architect. If you wanna bunch up a big number of dangerous inmates, that should be your call. I'd really like to see bunkbeds. It is my understanding that they are fairly standard in most prisons.

I think number assigned to each cell could be changed by the player, you could designate one by one or set all. Many prisons are filled past capacity and have more prisoners than beds so a few usually sleep on the floor, I think that should be an option for more money but less happines where we COULD build beds to help prisoners be happy or you can just give a one bed cell with five people in it and they fight daily over who gets the bed or it's controlled by the alpha male of the cell.
Yes, that is a penguin with rabies. Deal with it.

Two man cells should be an option as it is quite common in many prisons. No special room designation needed, should be identified automatically as a two man cell if it is say at least 3x3 tiles and have two beds.
Whilst on the subject, perhaps also have dormitories. Not that usual here in Europe, but is all the rage in the US for the more docile prisoners. Would work more or less as a holding cell, only a certain minimum amount of beds are mandatory. Number of prisoners allowed into a dorm equals amount of beds installed.

Kinda like in Oz in the early seasons hehe...
Also to build on that, having to ability to set whom and how many to be designated in that cell will add more strategic depth to the game!
Should you cut costs and in return have more escape attempts or put all efforts into designating the cells in a smart way, and having a tidy secure prison.
