Jail keys?
Haven't played in a while and suddenly all of my prisoners have Jail keys? They simple walk through reception (I have 6 guards stationed there, 4 metal detectors and prisoner check platforms) and no one stops them?
What happened?

The only thing my metal detectors find, are Jail Keys. One guy had like 7 of them.
What happened?

Messed up mod?

I'm having the exact same problem. It's not a mod because the only Mod I have active is Aristostka Mod, which is purely cosmetic.

I did have one instance where a prisoner got killed for being a snitch and after he was dead when I looked in the room there were like 50 knives all on the floor. I thought the other inmates just really wanted him dead and went a little overkill. After that I never saw another odd situation like that. I use no mods and never have so for me I know it couldnt be a mod issue.

I feel I should be more specific.

I have dozens of escape attempts every day, and every day I'm finding, quite literally, dozens of keys. According to the tracker my guards have found nearly 300 keys in a four day period. That is not an exaggeration, there are literally HUNDREDS of keys spawning in my prison with so many escape attempts my guards can no longer keep up with the amount of prisoners in cuffs.

Prisoners are sitting in cuffs waiting for hours, in some cases nearly a day, because there are just so many. I have hired more guards to try and keep up with the amount of prisoners, but even with, and again not exaggerating, forty guards without jobs or assignments it's still not enough.

My prison is literally grinding to a halt with starving prisoners because I cannot handle the ridiculous amount of keys flooding my prison.

What you could try is temporarily removing the punishment for contraband and doing a razzia to prevent Prisoners getting more keys from whereever they are, then check wether or not you zoned the staff zones properly.

One, what is a razzia, two, I checked where the keys were coming from, and they appear to be spawning out of thin air.

A razzia is a shakedown.

So, you went into the intelligence screen, and it gave no source whatsoever for all those jail keys? That is really weird.

Holy crap! I do shakedown every couple of days and I'm finding over 200 jail keys each time. On a daily basis I find 30+. In my intelligence screen jail keys appear out of no-where. have we found any solution for this?

Do any prisoners have unusual traits (escape artist, pickpocket, etc.)?

Did you have the mod that adds crimes? Or something else that modifies or edits a prisoner?
