They could at least have put an option to remove backer prisoners from the game. Right now it's not even moddable - getting rid of them requires manually changing a text file which will get restored by Steam every update.

So is that a fairly standard opening strategy? Bring in a ton of dudes and hope you can deal with the fallout while the funding trickles in to get the amenities?

Well, there are also grants that are offered. Little "missions" to set up various aspects of the prison that offer a cash reward (and sometimes an advance). They can be pretty useful to getting started. There is also the option to sell your current prison and use that cash to start a new one.

Speaking of which, I think my favourite part of Prison Architect is when a prisoner spends 4 hours in a parole meeting with all his needs slowly ticking up, gets denied parole at the end of it, and then immediately goes off in a huff to have an Angry Poo

Day 10-12    First things first.      Some details on the prison, heats okay but those cell qualities is probably the source of most of the issues. The regime is completely pants on head stupid. Like, this is guaranteed to cause max sec prisoners to kick off every breakfast.  After the fire I'm going to add more sprinklers everywhere, because I know this prison is going to need them in future.  New psych office up and running that doesn't involve prisoners getting drugs every time they visit. (jesus nielsm)  A no brainer that wasn't added, future wardens will want to build a kennel and stick a dog on this door too.  First kick-off on my watch is our resident gang member.  New cell block   And some shower blocks.  This is not great to see.  This is going to make it easier to deal with though.  Parole is up and running.  At some point soon someone will want to add more parole rooms though.     My first batch, no dumb backer bios but a video game pirate.   loving walter white.  And now this guy is trying to escape? There's some weird bug with this layout that I can't figure out.  We're headed towards a riot.  Yeah good job no one putting phones in, visitation isn't great when there's a 'backlog' of family need.  Phone banks in the yard and canteen should fix this issue for now.  loving WALTER WHITE  Some new guards dropped right into the problem area.  New block progressing well.  New guards have calmed things down I think.  loving. WALTER. WHITE.  And now I had to wait almost an entire day for this door to be installed to complete the building.  Angry++++++++++++++++  No but seriously, with mixed-sec prisons, stagger your sleep blocks, shove them into showers as they wake up then immediate breakfast with phones and other poo poo in the canteen to start the day off as bloodless as possible. But... I'm only in charge for another 36 hours so not my problem!  The "new" access only zoning is pretty cool.  Shower block progressing.   This guy tried to sneak into the building site to get some contraband thrown in, but I noticed him and now he's in deep poo poo.  New phones wired up.  Danger is way down now.  Another "new" thing to me, mouse over a job in progress and it shows you which worker is doing it.  loving finally.  It's going to be better to have the showers in the middle.  Cha-ching!  We're half way there.  Good to see.  Shower progress.  And this is finally done.  Schedule some classes in our classroom.  Also I fine tuned the guard deployments for the regime, so guards aren't sitting around the canteen at midnight.  Showers are done.  Mostly.  Some quick cloning.  Good job, 91% of you are getting paid this month.  Oh but uh... we don't have an armory  Day 11.  Okay fixed, the storage can live outside next to deliveries. But uh... ooops.  Oh uh...   Okay fixed *dusts hands*  First shots fired already.     Only one backer bio but it's actually a decent one.  Parole sessions still going along nicely.  Chris tried to kick off during breakfast not realising the guards have tasers now.   But then as soon as the taser wears off he just kicks off again.  Another success!  Oh   Good job dickhead.  Doing well here.  Oh forgot to station guards in the new block.  Enjoy lying in your own poop on the floor while getting searched.  Oh gently caress this'll be good.  Yeah right-o mate.   Fixed. *dusts hands and walks off* https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By7GgkR2s1CWOEtvZHdORlBGNnM/view?usp=sharing But seriously, I've added enough cells that the guy following me doesn't need to build any assuming he sticks to 4 per day. Guards have tasers and armor. We have parole now. Phones are keeping down the family need. Showers attached to all cells blocks so the one next to the holding cell doesn't turn into a murder box every morning. Spookydonut fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Jan 11, 2017 |

I have the save file, I will do my turn tomorrow and hopefully live-stream it on my Twitch. I have been avoiding the other updates, not because I don't want to read your stories but because I think it will be more fun to go in to this cold and not really know what kind of prison I will be working with.

Nice work, some much-needed efficiencies going in there. James Eaton was the prison's very first arrival! At 21 he's done pretty well for himself, pity he picked up some extra convictions in that court case (a pity for us that is)

Awww, so he wasn't secretly a super scary dude the whole time? That is kind of unfortunate. It'd be funny to see some MaxSec guy try to gently caress up a MinSec only for the MinSec to just kill him with his teacup or something.

That could still happen thanks to his reputations, it's just that he isn't technically considered a gang member and won't take part in gang-activities in the prison. He'll still be a nightmare to deal with because if he kicks off it'll take like 50 guards to take him down. We do have a new gang member though, Paul Moon, and he's in the green gang (Chris Hill is in the blue gang). Two rival one-man gangs!

Without gangleaders in the prison gang members are really just slightly more dangerous prisoners. Wait no he's extremely deadly extremely tough  Glad I didn't have to deal with him for more than 30 minutes.

Thefluffy posted:so what does it take to send someone to death row? The prisoner must arrive to your prison with a death sentence, existing prisoners can't be converted to death sentences. Then the prisoner stays for a very long time, during which he must go through multiple hearings and in each of those his sentence can be overturned, may even be proven innocent. After sufficient time, you can make the call to execute them. The execution itself is also a major deal, where the entire prison is forced into lockdown, and various things happen.

You also have to unlock Death Row from the tech tree before you can get a death row prisoner. It's on the Lawyer branch.

It's annoying you can't get a judge to send the super tough, super volatile gang leader to death row once he amasses , say, a 500 year sentence, but I suppose that's what freefire is for.

I got that event once and it did turn the prisoner into a gang leader; he suddenly had the gang ink and managed to recruit like a fourth of the prison over the course of the week. That prison failed in wonderful fashion.

Twitch VOD of my turn is here and will be available for a month: https://www.twitch.tv/jamsque/v/114311601 I'll edit a youtube link into this post once the export is finished, and I will hopefully put up a text-and-images summary of my turn later today, although I failed to take ANY screenshots so we will see how that goes.

Over the past couple days I've been thinking about that dude and how the best way to keep him out of the general population in the prison as it stands... is to put him in Protected Custody.
