The issue is you need 5 guards per legendary prison and 2 guards for every super max prisoner making a grand total of 7 guards for each prisoner in the prison
Called this result a few episodes ago. I think there is definitely a need for a revisit to the fully legendary prison. Minimum interaction with guards, could do a lot of work with door controllers and the improved deployment scheduler to make sure staff don't have to interact with prisoners either. Would be good to use of the cage for exercise as well. If you really want to up the challenge, make it a fully legendary psyche facility. Total lockdown throughout the prison.
Might want to do solitary cells that have a the potential to fulfill a lot of their needs to that they are still punished but don't come out and instantly kick off. Well a slight chance less. This is with the assumption that they can get those needs done while handcuffed in the cell, which I am not sure if they can or not
I usually dont comment but I have been following your last secure prisons and have come to the conclusion that you could support the extra costs of security and training with prison labor in a mixed prison. High count of working min and med sec prisoners going through reform and a more secure wing of max or supermax dangerous prisoners. Keep up the great videos
If you give the prisoners less freetime you can keep the freedom need fulfilled and contain them, also every room that could be a contraband source needs a metal detector on each entrance.
I agree with comments about no interaction with stuff. It seems to be the only way. Sniper tower with no lethal ammo to calm down anyone some guards to throw them to medical room with a sniper overwatch. Some prisoners can tolerate 1 tazer shot but 3 tazer should calm down anyone. BTW armed guard dont use tazers if fire at will is flaged up. Ether way all Leggys is not suppose to work long term i guess...
That was a fast eps. Next run maybe a mostly death row prison as that is something you have not done or a prison when the inmates stay in their cells and only can come out for medical or visitation or maybe one with mods.
I would love to see the max number of prisoners possible, huge map, med prisoners, can you get 2k or more prisoners, can add gangs for a challenge. But be interesting to see layout and logistics
These supermax get more freetime than my med sec. Maybe keep them locked up if they’re not working and provide their cell with everything that they need. Let some work only for mail room and shops for the needs, only a little bit of freetime to buy luxuries. And split them in groups. Like 4 groups of protective custody that will never cross with each other, that’ll help with gangs and control the size of riots. Idk i could think of a dozen more ways to make it better. I feel like you sorta gave up to acknowledge that they’re not just max sec they’re supermax. Imo they should be treated almost like death row, never let them cross each other more than necessary. Even if it means phone booth, praying mats, and weight bench in their cell. Unless they have a class or work to attend to, they stay locked up.
this may be a bit late since it's been 5 months, but I'd like to see you retry this but make it so you get the money you should be getting for a legendary prisoner, instead of what you are getting now due to them being max security prisoners. (also, while it was nice, abandon the aesthetics of the prison until you have it stable and scalable, since you lost money on details like the walls (white))
