Escape Mode: Permanently handcuffed
This happens in every prison, even my own. The guards either don't take me at all, or they take me to reception, and then I just wait. I can't do anything.

Is there a way to teleport to my cell by force?

Nope. The only way is to wait for a guard to escort you to your cell. And that could take a while if the prison doesn't have enough guards to meet its needs (patrols, stations, manning the door controls or phone taps, transporting prisoner uniforms to reception etc...) The process will happen eventually - just be patient.

That's probably it. It seems a lot of these prisons weren't made with escape mode in mind; they have all their guards set on either stationary or moving patrols, and there aren't any guards left over to move prisoners. It gets worse if any of the guards die.

Yeah but the new update addresses some of these issues. As Chris and Mark said, and I am paraphrasing here, the prison will now auto-hire staff when required as if a slightly awful player was watching over the prison... And escape mode was a surprise (at least to me - my first thought was "Oh they are trying to compete with 'The Escapists') when it was released so I am not surprised most prisons on the workshop weren't designed for it.

I often have to wait in reception a long time for prisons without enough guards (a LOT of prisons don't have enough guards for fluid functionality).

I put the game in fast mode and wander out the door in cuffs to do recon on the off-limits areas of the prison. They drag me back to Reception every once in a while, but I head out again to look in a different direction.

Eventually they drag me to a cell.
