Cause:

Insane prisoners can eventually break anything if their "Danger" reaches maximum. Fix: Station an Ordered Guard directly outside the door.

The Construction Checklist

Metrics to Track (in-game and in-management)

  • Regime: Set a "Padded Only" regime of Lockdown for 22 hours a day.
  • Eat/Yard: Give them 1 hour of "Yard" in a tiny, enclosed, padded yard with no heavy objects.
  • Result: They never interact with normal prisoners. They never break your water pumps. They just exist in a soft, beige purgatory.

Criminally Insane Prisoners:

These inmates have a specific "Safety" need that standard cells cannot fulfill. If they aren't assigned to a padded cell, they may eventually be transferred to another facility, which costs you money. "Prison Architect" is a popular simulation game where
