Dormitory with bunk bed still only holds one prisoner

[Monii]

So I had 60 cells for maximum security prisoners. I upgraded 15 of them into dormitories with a single bunk bed in each dormitory cell. However, the maximum security capacity did not increase, and stayed at 60. Moreover, there is still just one prisoner in each cell. I even tried putting two bunk beds in some cells, and it still doesn't work for me. Thanks.

They should quite simply add a second tier of research in Small Cells, called Small Dormitories.

Because I actually think it's pretty much BS to require 4 squares per prisoner. There's just no reason for it.

Interesting. I believe I agree with you on this in that it adds more to the research tree as well. I ran an experiment with dorms with only low risk inmates and found that I was making money hand over fist. Fill to capacity and kept building. Not many guards needed and not many (if any) incidents. Bringing in about 30+ inmates a day. It actually got to a point were 10-15 were getting released a day and on top of what the dorms i was building. Up to 300k bank money and was building as fast as I could with my original 8 workers. More crowding could lead to more problems adding to the challenge.

I have done this and the problem here is when they dig tunnels, you can have massive amounts of escapees really fast, it happened to me :(
