Building second prison at right side of road

[Finrod]

Hey guys,

i have some big problems: i had built a 250 cell prison and its working fine till now so i decided to build the exact same prison at the other side of the street to get a 500 cell prison after its done. But here start the problems...

1. garbage at the right side wont get picked up by the trucks.
2. cooks are running from left to right and back and are to slow to feed my prisoners...
3. i cant do workshopprograms at the right side but i have workshops and even 2 foremen at the right side...

does anybody have similar problems or maybe knows how to solve them?

I usually have to (when i make 2 prisons like that) make the left side be the workshoppers which i mark as say, SuperMax prisoners (though theyre just Max security) and mark the workshop as such, just to force only those prisones working in the workshop.

With garbage you will have to make the one garbage pickup on the left side. Garbage, Exports and Deliveries cannot be picked up or dropped off on the right side.

With cooks you might need to increase your Cook numbers and place them inside the 2nd kitchen, that usually works for me.

Thx for your answer but i have to correct you: my export is only at the right side and working just fine.i will try the cook issue andyou dont know any other solution for the programs? i mean i get about 250 prisoners at the right side and cant let them do classes to work for me?....thats ♥♥♥♥ xD

workshop for now has to work moving around. the only fix known is to built it adjacent to each other or it is like u said they keep moving around. as for cooks u just have to hire more cooks and watch out ur storage if it started to filling up with food that means riot gonna start like soon

[Finrod]

Is there a way to see which prisoner wants to learn in the workshop? that way i could move those to the left side and after they finished bring them back to the right side. Is that somehow possible?

[Tanda Endast Mot Ladans Plan]

the only way to see as now is look at i think experience tab where reform programs is listed, too much work i think. just move ur minimum prisoner(if u have) to the right side as even if they learn its no use. im working with 500 pop with canteen and kitchen issues

Exports work on the right side. Only garbage and deliveries don't work on the right. Really weird. I made my right side half exports and half storage instead.

And while I was trying to figure this out I did notice that prisoners will actually move things from exports to the trucks. I have it all walled off with a double road gate on each side (one locked open that I can close with lockdown).

And I have 500 prisoners on the left side lol. Makes it even worse. I have one particular prisoner on the left side who wants to use the shower on the right side of the prison. Every single day. Right side is all supermax (and a separate section on the right for protective custody). And he's the only max security prisoner in along with all supermax. And it was the same guy every day. His cell is on the bottom left side of the prison. Takes him 23 game minutes to walk from his cell to that shower. Provided the guards are proactive with the doors.

I'm lucky with kitchens and canteens though. I manage to feed around 95% of my prison every day with variation and quantity on high and with meals to spare. Not all prisoners actually go to the canteen. And some are locked up in solitary/lockdown. It also counts dead prisoners and prisoners that are in the deliveries and yet to be given a cell/put in holding.

argh that really annoys me, is it that hard to fix programs/classes to work at the right side of the road? It is destroying all of my plans:(

Laundry, cleaning cupboard and even getting them to work in the kitchens works on the right side. Can't assign exactly who works in what kitchen (unless you restrict it to a certain security level) but they work. Workshop doesn't. But those are the only things I've tried.
