Protective Custody Prisoners

[EliteRiceEater]

How many prisoners are going to be snitches, ex law enforcement, and ex prison guards, or anyone who needs to be put under protective custody. Like what percentage of my prisoners. I plan on having a maximum occupancy of 280 prisoners of low, medium, and high security. Does anyone have any idea on how many protective custody cells I need to build.

I don't have too much personal experience successfully saving snitches ex law and ex prison guards n stuff, but, I'd wager on the end of 5-10%~.. For the number of prisoners you want, probably build about 15-20 protective cells to start, and leave room to increase to 25-30.

I'm sure someone else will have a better answer than me though.

I actually experimented with this a while ago. I found a mod that automatically puts snitches into protective custody. I put it in various prisons of mine before accepting new inmates. All of the prisons had an equal amount of min/med/max sec prisoners.

The ratio seemed to always be around 1:30.

You can get the mod here.

I actually already have that mod and was planning on using it. So according to your ratio of 1:30, I should have only 10 cells?

I would build a few more than 10. Prisoners get released and new ones come in. So, there's a good chance you could end up with more snitches.

yep thats what im going to do!! thx!!
