Any way of Death row prisoners lowering their exercise need??
Does anyone know if and how deathrow prisoners lower their need for exercise - they do not follow the regime, so I expect they wo´nt use a yard or common romm - any ideas??

A weights bench in their cell sorts it
Surely just give them weights in the cell?

EDIT: too slow

Yup, a weights bench. They're quite useful as they don't count towards cell grading. But, it's unecessary. You can ignore the Needs of DR prisoners.

Makes me sad! I think its ok that deathrow prisoners don´t follow the regime, but it would make the situation much more interesting if they used yard and common rooms at free will, especially because a lot of gang members tend to be in deathrow !!

Perhaps a fully functional segregation system is coming soon, but for now I think Death Row prisoners are stuck in their cells.

To be fair, if they're on death row legitimately (and we have to assume the game's judge and jury don't make mistakes!), who cares if they don't get to use a common room and have to do all their exercises, showering, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and TV watching in their cell? I don't.

:P

Wait... They don't use yards and common rooms?
...I may have just wasted 100K$ on building a segregated DR prison... Whoops.

How big is it? DR prisoners are very rare, would take forever to fill it anyway I would guess. Use it for another category: Min, Max, Super-Max or Protective. A DR block can be pretty small. A few well-equipped cells, Execution Chamber, and acess to a Parole Room for Appeals.

Due to the Deathrow-Gang bug(Gang members don´t get parole hearings in deathrow) it is actually very easy to fill death row cells with prisoners(because the risk is too high to kill them all) --- I get a deathrow prisoner every 3 days and only 2 out of 10 are non-Gang prisoners so I have seldom executions but lots of occupied cells(I´m actually planning to add more than my current 20 deathrow cells) --- that bug was the reason why i had the thought about lowering exercise need, because if prisoners stay long(for ever) in a deathrow cell i want too minimise any risks of bad behaviour.

Here's what I do for both my DR prisoners and my sorting rooms (where I put?? prisoners before I get 100% CI coverage.
