Prisoners are not being taken to solitary!

So, I had a riot that I managed to contain pretty easily but I have 100+ prisoners that are supposed to go to solitary and even though I have enough solitary cells and dozens of guards that don't have duties, they're still not taking them to solitary and are dying of starvation! What the heck is going on?!

Are they any areas blocked off?

Do you have a bunch of jobs queued? My first guess would be a guard or two (or 10) stuck at a broken/unpowered door somewhere, unable to do their queued job, and screwing up the whole queue of jobs.

Nope, all of those were fixed and the guards don't have any jobs queud asside for the solitary escorts.

Yeah, they are all queued to take prisoners, but are unable to because someone somewhere is stuck. Could be that they got queued while a door was broken and never re-queued. I'd save, fire every guard, and hire some new ones and see if they go about taking prisoners to solitary right away.

That wasn't the problem. No one was stuck anywhere as there was nothing damaged. Any other reasons that you can think of? I have like 30 guards that have no assigned patrols and about half of them aren't on break. They just sit around or run around the prison doing absolutely nothing while the prisoners are shackled and left for days to starve to death while waiting to be taken to solitary!

Any chance you could get me your save to play with? I dunno anything about uploading prisons yet, but at worst, you could email it to me.

Have you made the solitary anything but mixed?

[SweetDarsh]

I have the same problem what you can do is you can click thenprison and click the cell so the guard will take hem to the solitary cell the only problem is they will never thane them out

Ya, I've made it according to the security level of that particular sector: normal security.

SOLVED (if playing with criminally insane): Basically, every prisoner, who is assigned to go to solitary, will be assigned a number as well. Prisoners will be moved to solitary in that order.
If you‘re playing with criminally insane inmates and don’t have a padded solitary cell, those criminally insane will not be brought to a normal solitary cell, meaning they’ll stay in their cell with cuffs. But since they’re next in line, no other prisoners will be brought to solitary cells either since they’re not next in line. The game will strictly follow the order of assigned numbers.
This results in no one using your solitary cells.
Occasionally, the criminally insane might die and that’s where you see some prisoners get moved to a solitary cell again, since they’re next in order. But as soon as a criminally insane prisoner comes in order again, it‘s back to the beginning.

TLDR: Have both normal solitary cells and padded solitary cells. Prisoners are assigned a number in which order they’re put into solitary, and that order is strictly followed.
