Rooms under doors?
I don't understand this, it seems only the canteen has this problem. I want to build a few bathrooms for the prisoners in my canteen, but the doors cut off the room? I mean it's only an aesthetic thing but I just really don't want random toilets in the middle of the room where people are meant to be eating. Is there a way around this?

I know what you mean, but no, there's no real workaround to make it work WITH a door, other than leaving the door out and using a wall to make it look like a "privacy screen", depending on where you put it of course.

The Room-assignment is really finnicky about what you put in them.

For example, a similar issue, when you have a room that requires a minimum of 5x5, and you even make it 6x6 but put a single block of wall in it, it suddenly can't count it as a total of 6x6 anymore but rather 4x5 or something, because the "count" is interruped.

So I really wish it would just ignore doors and walls or whatever.
Though, I don't know if that would cause side-effects as well.

ALSO; I really wish they'd add a room such as a Restroom, Bathroom or Washroom rather. Just a room that requires one or two toilets, maybe a (new/small) sink and who knows what else.
It would make a lot more sense than to just force toilets into Staff Rooms just because that's where they take their break and rest. It shouldn't have to mean that they potty right in the middle of the room...

I would like a similar situation for the Cells, that they DON'T require a toilet but you can get a separate bathroom like the showers are separate. - Even though, yes, in real life pretty much all cells have those stainless steel toilets.
But still, a lot of the room-requirements are a bit arbitrary or just silly. There needs to be more logic or perhaps flexibility in them. - Aaanyway... :P

There is no way to put doors to toilets within the canteen, sorry. As Michael Monstar said above, the most realistic way you can do things is make some kind of privacy wall or arrange things in a way the toilets are 'hidden' from view of the canteen.

Here is a few design ideas if you need any:-
