Introversion

Hi, after playing Prison Architect for 200+ hours there is one feature I'd really like to see.
An extra security level, maybe call it "Administrative Segregation" or something like that. This would be very usefully during a Virus Event or to separate Gang Leaders for the rest of the population.
Alternatively a simpeler option might be, to add a flag to a prisoner so he always keeps his current cell, and is never moved to an other cell, regardless of cell rating or whatever.

Do you mean permanent lockdown?

No, I mean an additional security level. Like MinSec, MedSec, MaxSec, Protective Custody, Death Row and <one extra level>.

That does sound a bit like permanent lockdown now, doesn't it?

Except prisoners would be allowed to leave their cell according to the regime. Just that they aren't moved around from cell to cell, they always return to the same cell.
That way you can keep gang members spread around.

Ahh, just turn of cell rating optimization, and automatic security class elevation.

Turning it of in the Policy-tab doesn't do what I described, prisoners are still moved around to better cells if they behave well.

It shouldn't do this, I think, maybe it's a bug, we should check the bug tracker, post-haste.

Yep. Big fan. +1

I would love additional sectors. A "Green" or "White" "any colour not already in use" sector would rejuvenate my interest in the game. I'd love to segregate those addicted to drugs and alcohol into their own part of the prison where I can further limit the amount of contraband they have access too, without having to use supermax-protective custody as I already micromanage those as well.

I tried my hand at segregating mothers, but it seems like a silly workaround having to sacrifice one the existing security levels just to handle their regime and constant need for sleep.
