Death Row Needs?

[Panicsferd]

It has been awhile since I watched the video that described death row and I am starting to make my new prison and I am wondering what are the needs for the death row inmates - do they require like yards/common rooms/kitchen/canteens/etc.

So far I noticed it seems like they don't even have a seperate regime unlike your min/med/max sec prisoners? So do I just need a cell block, and a parole and possibly a visitor center for them and that is it?

The guards will bring them food so no need for thier own canteen. I usually just build them a visitor room and a parole room. Everything else they need I put in their cells like weight benches and phones.

You really just need a cellblock and execution chamber, guards will escort them back and forth to a nearby parole or visitor room, if necessary.

They don't do much, just mope around in their cell all day until they get clemency or you pull the switch.

Okay that sounds good then, I guess in a way I though they would need a seperate everything like your min/med/max sec prisoners, so now I'm in the process of converting that extra canteen to a protect sec wing - right behind the death row inmates.

Be sure you also set a slot in your programs for Death Row Appeal in one of your Parole Rooms. They go to an appeal every 3-4 days until their % drops low enough you can zap them.

DR Inmates have 24 hour lockdown. The guards will bring food to them when it's Eat time for the Med Secs. They can leave their cells to go to Visitation or to the Parole Room, but other than that they are basically victims of Permanent Lockdown.

I guess that is good to know then, so I will know in the future on this prison or on a completly different prison how to lay it out.

minimum requirements:

cells with deathrow only and an exection room, shared canteeen, shared solitary cells

useful: parole room, without paroles you cant execute anybody (well you can but after 3rd execution your fired)


i personally build some better cells for them (that they dont tick out to much),

their own solitary cells as every security level has its own solitary cells.

also i build an extra canteen, as the feeding for your prisoners only work, if you have a valid path for deathrowinmates from their cells to canteen.(yeah a bit stupid) Also the ways for your guards are shorter (therefore for your cooks longer)

visitation room can be used, but creates contrabant, so i build some phones in their cells.

a deathrow only parole room is also good for their deathrow appeal

I have not used "death row" yet but am getting there soon! SO please take this question with a dose of naieve assumption on my part.

I am not fully following what you say a valid path to the canteen. Are you saying that if the death row inmate cannot path between there cell and the canteen (even though they are locked in for meal times) that meals will not be brought ? Also who brings the meals cooks, prisoners, guards or janitors ?

Checked out your sceenshot, nice.
