Isolating Max Security Prisoners

[bamlink]

I have a high functioning prison with about 200 prisoners, all minimum and normal security. No incidents, about 40 days, 2 million in value. I wanted to see what it would be like to slowly introduce some maximum prisoners, so I created a spearate cell block for them. I zoned it as max security. When the prisoners arrived, however, the guards took them right to the other cell blocks. I can't zone those regualr cells blocks because there a mixture of min and normal prisoners in there and I don't see a choice for that combo. Can I get the guards to isolate the max security prisoners into a specific cell block? I'll deal with a separate regime for them after they're secured.

You can move them to there own areas, you need to make the zones for max prisoners and they should take them there.

you may just have to bite the bullet and and move the min sec to the holding cell and zone it normal.

There's currently no way to bar one class of prisoners while allowing the other two. If you want your maximum security prisoners to not be placed in the non-max cells you'll need to make sure all those cells are filled.

Well you can bar one class and let the ther two into an area you just need to be creative... make 2 entrances to the prison cell block and make 1 Min sec only and the other entrance Med sec only and leave the cell block area as shared then Max sec can't get in there and you will still keep the others in there.

if you dont want inmates in cells use the rooms tool and unmark the cell area(right click on the area that the curent cell takes up) then no inmates will be moved to that cell untill you redefine it as a cell agien. works for me.

That's pretty clever. Thanks, I'll try it.

I would like to say that I can up with that myself but I actually say it in another post but I forget the guys name that suggested it. He also provided a picture for reference. I'll go find it and like it here.

Is it also possible to allow min sec prisoners and med sec prisoners in a room but no hi sec prisoners? (or any other of such combinations?)
Because I can only say this area is just for min sec of just for med sec. But I would like to make a canteen used by min sec prisoners and med sec prisoners, but not used by hi sec prisoners.
If it's not yet possible I would really like to see that in the game. Otherwise I would love to know how you solved this.

It's not actively supported or added, but it is possible. You just have to get a bit creative.

Give the room two entrances. Make one entrance Min Only, and one Med only, or whatever you want. Make the room itself Shared. Because there's no entrance that allows Max to enter, they're incapable of walking into the room themselves.

Very helpful. I think it's going to work for me as I have several entrances/exits into the cells blocks. Thanks again.

No problem. :)
