Family visits?

[Frikandelbroodje]

Hello,

I think i'm managing my prison pretty well except for the family visitations. I made a family visit room with the visitation table object in it, a guard and assigned is as the correct room. then added a prison door to one end and i tried adding a regular door, staff door or prison door to the other end (the way outside). family members seem to arrive just fine and wait at a table, but the prisoners never go to the room. even if they are already in it, they don't sit down and their family need doesn't go down D:

Anything i'm doing wrong?

do your prisoners have free time in teh regime while their visitors are there?

you might need to set the room as 'unlocked' for a prisoner to go into it - not 100% sure of that. My visitation areas are always inside the prison - if yours have external entry, you can try to build out a fence and then gate that area off with a jail door, and see if setting the visitor center to unlocked works.

All of the above, plus the following: There also has to be a path from where the prisoner is, to the visitation room. He can not pass through "staff only" areas, only areas open to his security level (or general population) and nobody will escort him so any locked doors will have to be unlocked by wandering, patrolling or stationed guards.

And visitors will be escorted in? or does it have to be accessible through normal doors only?

You need a free guard, make sure there is at least one guard not assigned to anything.

I got that problem now, I solved it, you need to put it as shared, I made it staff only so families didn't came
