Remove jobs programme prerequiste?

[KirinFrost]

So is there a way to remove the reform programmes that prisoners need to pass to work in the workshops and kitchen etc?

They keep failing because they are suppressed, but i want a russian style prison whereby they are forced to work under heavy armed guards instead of lazing about doing nothing.

Go into materials.txt and find the room definitions like:

BEGIN Room
Name Workshop
Research PrisonLabour
Properties PrisonersCanWork
Qualification WorkshopInduction
BEGIN Requirement Type MinimumSize x 5 y 5 END
BEGIN Requirement Type Object Id WorkshopSaw END
BEGIN Requirement Type Object Id WorkshopPress END
BEGIN Requirement Type Object Id Table END
BEGIN LikelyObject Id CarpenterTable END
BEGIN Contraband Id Saw END
BEGIN Contraband Id Screwdriver END
BEGIN Contraband Id Hammer END
BEGIN Contraband Id Drill END
BEGIN Contraband Id Shank END
BEGIN Contraband Id WoodenPickAxe END
END

The bold part is what you will be looking for, remove that line and reform is no longer needed for that room.
