How to control supermax legendary prisoners
As the title says. What are some tips to get these dudes under control? They're responsible for most of the murders in my supermax-only wing, which always happen in the canteen.

Is there a way to divide Supermax into multiple sub-blocks with their own regimes? Or a way to select specific prisoners and isolate those away from the rest?

You can isolate anyone you want by researching permanent punishment and then giving the prisoner full time in solitary/lockdown, you can have some solitary rooms very far and that should do it.
If you want the CHEAT way, don't make any solitary room and just give the guy you want 6 hours solitary, since you don't have any solitary they will be in handcuffs the entirety of their sentence.

Another "cheat" would be to give them permanent lockdown/solitary, then - without cancelling it - add an additional 24 hours or so. Whenever I do this I end up with them on a non-permanent lockdown/solitary time for like 8000+ hours: longer than they would ever stay.

A less cheat-y way is you're gonna have to give them nicer cells. The more their needs are met, the less likely they'll flip out over stuff. I give each cell it's own shower, radio, and prayer mat so they can take care of comfort, sleep, hygine, bladder, poo, recreation, and spirituality on their own. If laundry is good their clothing need should be satisfied as well. If you don't give them yard time, put a weight bench in there too so they can exercise. I can fit all this in a 3x3 cell.

My supermax canteen has phones so they can take care of their family need during meals.

The killer is freedom. I give supermax 4 hours of free time and the rest of the time not devoted to eating or sleeping is lockdown.

Oh yes and never dorm legendaries. Make sure their cells are nice and private.

Yeah, it all sounds a bit more generous than they deserve, but it generally keeps all, but the most volatile of prisoners contained. For volatile legendaries, you may just want to cheat, use a death row mod to execute them, or just have them shot.

If you are running a max-supermax prison (or just don't use protected security or minimal security) you can set the problem-est of the problem prisoners to this lower security rating and seperate them from the general population, in an even higher security section of your prison even though they are marked as "lower security risks".

Put them in solitary and lock the door and wait until they starve to death.

Here's how to get rid of prisoners quick (and feel like a Nazi).
Step 1. install this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1438216687&searchtext=unethical
Step 2. Have Lawyer Research Unethical walls.
Step 3. Basicly make supermax death row. Put annoying prisoners on supermax
Step 4. Zone a solitary cell for super max, this will be your gas execution chamber.
Step 5. Place "Lego Bricks" in the cell (You disgust me)
Step 6. Put the bodies in tomorrow's mystery meat. (It all tastes the same with enough ketchup.)

(Please excuse my dark humor)

You are excused for the involuntary BM's of your "Lego" executed prisoners.
