How to get injured prisoners to a medical ward?

My guards go to the ward if they get hurt, but the prisoners dont. Do i have to do something to send them there? Please help, my prison got into an "almost riot" and may prisoners are injured very badly.

The guards should escort injured prisoners to the medical room automatically. Perhaps your guards are overloaded with tasks.

You can also order your doctors to a prisoners cell, and he'll heal them in the cell - like a house call

Punishment used to come before medical attention, are all of the injured prisoners in lockdown or solitary ?

As a workaround you could to send the doctors to them manually, they will treat anyone in need if they see them. Send a doc to the far end of a cell block and they should take care of all injuries as they make their way back to medical.

I'm guessing yes, you're looking at the deployment screen ?
Just leftclick a doc to select, now there should be a small green circle following the cursor. Then rightclick where you want him to move to. This works for every staffmember.

No, I'm doing just what you said, and no dice.

Well, that's how it works. Maybe you're not quite clicking correctly, or your installation is bugged?

In the regular view, not deployment, left click on a doc.
Right click on a space in the prison (not a person, a space near a person)
Doc goes there and attends to anyone nearby that needs help.

as a work around... when all hell breaks loose and you have a lot of injured, call in the medics and have them hang around the cantine or solitarey area. they will work within a range and heal anyone

I feel that it would be useful to be able to deploy the doctors on patrols as well. i.e. doing a medical checkup during meal hours.

Injured Prisoners should be automatically go to the medical to receive treatment escorted by a guard before they proceed to solitary or cell. Is a problem to look all around for injured prisoners, if you have a large prison. Well something for the developer to look at and improve.

Just finding this thread now.... I have the same issue as GAMING GRANDPA. Doctors just go right up to the prisoner and then walk away again. I have 5 'spare' guards but nobody takes them to the medical bay either. very strange

How did you fix grandpa?
