Constant fights and murder

[Moth]

Ever since I started playing with the new gangs DLC, there are non-stop fights in my prison. I only accept medium security prisoners, and ive already had more than a dozen med security become max because of murders. They aren't super unhappy, they just keep starting fights everywhere. Weapons and contrabands are everywhere even with metal detectors set up.

What am I doing wrong?

When you play a game with gangs, you are just going to have more fights.

But remember that when a gang leader is sent to solitary, the risk level of your prison goes way, way up. If after a fight, you see that a gang leader is going to be sent to solitary, click on him and immediately "End Punishment."

Or just hire a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of armed guards to immediately deal with any fight. It's how I usually do it. When any fight breaks out, I first send in a couple random dudes with the "guard response" option, and if a prisoner kills either another prisoner or one of my staff, I immediately activate free fire and send in a whole bunch of armed guards supported by two or three snipers (which is a bit annoying to do manually, wish there was a button to specifically send only armed guards and snipers into a room). That's gonna end every fight pretty quickly and usually the armed patrols that I spam afterwards keep people suppressed to the point where I don't really have to worry much about the danger level for the following one or two days.

The same problem here, with this dlc the game starts to be unplayable for higher security prisoners. You always have fights and a lot of staff die during the week. I only put armed guard in order to kill ASAP the prisoner. Because the regular guards died so easy and a prisoner with good stads can easily kill 4 of them until he fell down. It's absurd and unfair

You need to build a max sec area to keep the problematic ones.
