[Suggestion] Supermax prisoner intake
I think the Supermax color is under-used, so I have one of the devs see this, if you do reply please. Anyway I have an idea for how to treat and get supermax prisoners

1. Allow you to get them from intake, let's say, 3,000 a prisoner.
2. Supermax is scary irl, supermax is a very inhumane experiment done on people who have done mass shootings and lived, (i.e if the guy that shot up the gay bar lived he would've been sent to supermax or death) supermax reduces a person to a robot, you never see a living being, the cells are usually death proof (they keep you alive to live in hell) and you go through the same routine of sleeping, showering, eating, sleeping, etc for the rest of your life.
Now isolation is very underestimated, a normal person can't go 8-12 hours in isolation, a month in isolation is called in-humane, that is why supermax is done to people considered not human anymore.

I think there should be a specific cell, a cell designed around a real supermax prison is dififcult I tried it in alpha 31 and it worked but wasn't small, anyway you could create a 4x2 cell with the minimum requirments being a bed, shower+drain, and a toilet, enclosed by a I would like to call supermax door, pretty much everything proof (or atleast really difficult for a legendary to destroy)

3. The regime would basically be lockup 24/7 and they get fed through the door.

I think this should be supermax intake, a special cell requiring a toilet, bed, and shower with a supermax door, he get's fed every 8 hours (I did some tests in-game and that works) I hope you see this devs and put it in the game as it would give a reason for supermax rather than just adding another cell block for really bad prisoners.

I'd rather like the name of it to be Isolation Cell + Isolation Door but I was using supermax cell/door as a referance

I use S. Max as my gang wing accualy, so I would rather they not mess with htat. I wouldn't be opposed to an additional sec lvl that was basicly death row, minus the death part.. which seems to be what you are describing, just please, leave me my additional sec lvl for gangs, they really shouldn't mix with the regular prison pop.

Use protective custody then....

um no, i prefer to keep pc alive

What? Who actually uses protective custody? Tbh it doesn't really matter if prisoners die I think, I just have "fill cpacity" on at all times and I am still making 30,000$ a day

i use protective custody for law enforcement/snitches

i use supermax for gang leaders/copkillers, i'd rather set supermax manually.

the system is fine how it is you'll just break everybody's games changing the intake

Yes but I am not saying remove manual supermax I am just saying add a supermax intake, hell make it like death row and not see supermax often just add another reason for supermax other than manually setting it. You say it like I am askin to remove supermax.

I don't like deaths, escapes or any other blemishes on my perfect record. I wouldn't be opposed to a s. Max- style intake where you can get legendaries (and supre legendaries) on a more regular bases, but I would just rather not lose the additional sec lvl that you can customize. I would accualy like an additional one ;-)

Its not supposed to be used as an intake. Its used to segreate inmates that cause nothing but problems and need to be kept away from the rest. Exactly how do you plan to segreate those inmates if you literally have no other security status to go to? If you want a super super max level then just do not have a intake for super max.

You people do not understand,I am not wanting to take it away, I just want another reason for Supermax, you can still treat them the way you want, just allow S.max to be used as intake. Plus it would add some more interest to S.max if there were requirments.

but then you'd need another security level above supermax for segregation. then you'd want intake for super super max. then we'd need an additional super super super max. then you'd want super super super max intake. then we'd need another super super super super max level.. where will it stop?

Actually its you that don't understand. There is no S.max intake in real life, they are just maximum security. Exactly how do you even go above what is maxium? S.Max is a segregation tool, nothing more. If you want to use the color more then just move them to S.Max.

Pretty much that. There is a reason for things being the way they are.
