Ten superior beds?

[El Patron]

Hi guys. I accepted this grant to make ten superior beds. My prisoners work in workshop but they obviously dont make the beds. How am I supposed to fulfill this grant? Thank you for your advices.

You must at first have prisoners pass the carpentry education which is part of the program-report. And you must also provide them with wood.

Oh the program. I totally forgott about that. Thank you very much for the tip. But as I can see now no one is interested to learn the carpentry. How can I make it more attractive for my bloody convicts?

Education demand (or success) depends on the overall happyness and safety of your prision.

It is always low, if your inmates are constantly complaining abount unfullfilled needs or if there is violence and death all over the prison, because they get paranoid and fear for their lifes.
At first you can support the demand by increasing the luxury value of the majority of your cells to 5 (but still have cells below this value). If money is not a matter, you can also raise the quality or amount of provided food.
At second, identify snitches and Ex-laws as fast as possible (ideally right if they arrive at your prison) and get them in protective custody. And last (but not least) put volatile and deadly characters in quarantine.

The former one will increase the overall happyness while reducing the amount of contraband you have to deal with. And the latter reduces the amount of violence in the prison, making all characters feel saver. Both together should result in a remakable increase in demand for education.

Finally you can build a shop in your prison. The chance to buy something will increase the overall readyness of your prisoners to work. But keep a look at it because it privides an additional source of contraband.

Oh, and of course, only prisoners, who have passed the workshop-safety course can apply for carpentry.

How can I improve luxury? They have everything and I can still see in theinr needs: luxury..

You can do that by giving them bigger cell, more stuff (etc. chair, window, tv, radio, book shelf and more). Ideally have in different luxury "numbers" have more or/and less stuff.

Build larger Cells with more Equipment. The majority of cells in my prison has a size of 2*4 tiles with a bed, a toilet, a shower, a Window, a chair, a TV and a bookshelf. Which makes Up for a decent average cell.
Beside of this you should have cells with less, and with even more luxury. I have aproximately 5% dorms with Just a bunkbed and a toilet (Rank 1) and also a Few very luxury cells with a size of 4*4, and an additional Radio as Well as an office-desk (Rank 10).

Every inmate Who stays unsuspicious will slowly gain luxus-previleges and finally be transfered into a better cell. If a inmate violates the Rules, He or She will loose all previleges and goes Back into a lower cell. This calms down the prison very much because Most inmates don't want to risk their previleges.

If you then seperate all snitches, ex-cops and agressive inmates from the Rest of the Population, there should remain almost No violence in your prision.
