I don't know about you guys but when you start having a larger prison due to buying land expansions time becomes very... valuable. Not sure if it is working as intended or what not but I really hope they look into maybe making time last alittle longer for in game day. Currently I have to routine my guys into the yard before each meal just to corral them up and they barely make it to the yard anyways. My hope would be that the current hour would be more like 30mins in game time and let the schedule reflect this by having 30 min intervals as apposed to hour intervals.

No.
When in doubt, you are probably right. The only right person. In fact, you are probably right as of right now!

They have various arrows for time.

Use them.

Sounds like a flaw of your design and regime - it has nothing to do with gametime.

I think the issue is more that you need multiple versions of the various rooms your prisoners need to get to. You may need multiple yards spread around the prison so that prisoners spend less time travelling to the yard and more time in the yard fulfilling their needs. Only issue is really canteens at the moment, since we all know there's some issues with having more than one. Best you can do there is allow 2 hours for eating, or 1 for eating followed up by freetime to give them a chance to finish.

This is due to segmentation not being implemented and people expanding their prisons.

Prisoners just dont have enough time to get from oen area to another, its one reason i will not use land expansion another is it adds lag to the game.

Yes, it will be easier to have spread out prisons once the facilities can be spread throughout the land area as well.
