Can prisoners watch TV in bed/other questions about them.

[Nurgle]

Other questions:
Do Prisoners automatically know the prison layout?
Do Prisoners formulate plans together to escape/ Kill snitches undetected?

TV: mostly yes. I've definitely seen them do it but it fluctuated with engine updates.

Layout: YES. their AI pathing WILL calculate efficient paths for them to reach where they want or have to go as long as the area is available. They will also automatically know which route to try escaping through.

Cooperation: Low but yes. Prisoners might build connecting tunnels, the more prisoners are connected, the faster the main tunnel will grow.
Gangs exhibit various group behaviours. Other than that, if all prisoners are angry at something, they might look like a group when it's just every single one boiling over roughly at the same time. There is also a Reputation trait "Instigator" which makes a prisoner a makeshift leader who others will imitate in violent and disruptive behaviours.
Snitches will be attacked by prisoners with little to lose, there's little planning there.

@the queen Salis. Thanks! Your help is appreciated!

Place your mouse pointer on the TV. You will then see a green zone. If the/any prisoner is within this green zone, they they are satisfying that particular need. If you hover your pointer over the prisoner, you will see which needs are currently being satisfied, and you will see the "dots" slowly diminish as that need is met over time.
