Ratio
I did see somewhere you could see ratio in this game. Like how many coockers pr fridge and sink. And how many washing machines, to ironing tables and laundry baskets and how many priosners it would serve.

Unfortunatly I forgot my note and I can't remember the numbers. Anyone that knows them and could help me out?

I'm not going to give you specifics, because many things depend on how many prisoners you employ, how many prisoners you actually have in total, how large your facility is, just approximations.

You can also look at the Wiki, they also supply numbers.

I believe 10 cooks for 100 prisoners are a fine thing to do if you do not have prison labour for the kitchen. This includes excess staff to do transport jobs. In my opinion, a cook can handle two cookers and one fridge.
These ratios change when you change your Food Quality and Quantity!
One sing per three cookers, or so.

Washing machines are efficient, you can use about one per 100 prisoners, easily, and two or three ironing tables so things don't clog up so much.
Laundry baskets: Don't remember, but supply plenty, especially when you have a large number of spread out cellblocks or multiple laundries.

Thats a fine calculator but I note that it explicitly states it is based off of Alpha 36 mechanics... The game balances have been changed since then and I believe the required numbers may be different because of those changes...

Just remember that we have had another update after v1 and there are more planned every month for at least the next year so it is possible that more balance changes will occur, meaning that the calculator will be incorrect until the balance is finalised.
