Well (assuming you're not using any mods), for laundry you need a lot of carts. At least 1 per cell block you're covering, more likely 2-3 (Logistics view shows laundry coverage).

A small laundry can handle a pretty large prison. The actual laundering is rarely a problem, it's the delivery. Buy a ton of laundry carts.

ok thanks

Didn't work they dont even try to move the carts they just stay there with the clean laundry in them

(Still no mods? Just checking...)

Try hiring a few more Janitors then, they're the ones who actually deliver the clothes (other than regular inmates during work time, which you might also consider increasing).

Hmm, not sure what to tell you, dude. Maybe post a screenshot of your prison?

For reference, here's my Logistics view for laundry distribution:

And here's my laundry guys (Janitors) hard at work in the middle of the night:

Okay, that's the same trap I fell into when I first started this game. You've got every cell opening to a common corridor. The game really wants you to create cell blocks, but you have individual cells each opening to the common area. Problem is, each cell counts as an individual block.

Build a complete foundation and then build cells within, so it's a comprehensive unit.

yes, build some indoor hallways in front of your cells. The problem now is, that every cell count as its own cell block, so every cell has to deliverd by its own. The other problem is, that the clothes are collected in your laundry basket and so some of your cells are overdelivered and the rest not.
