Police/prison Q

[JC]

So i have 2 police stations and noticed my cells are just about full, so i thought maybe i should build a prison, or another station.

Q

What do the prisons do in this game? Is it just hold people or is there something else?

What is the orange circle around the prison, it is fairly large. Is it sound? polution? maybe a unhappiness ring? I couldn't really figure it out because it was so large.

Do i need to put prisons in unpolluted areas like housing? I was thinking of putting it near industry, but kinda unsure about that. I know of a few that are kinda in the middle of no where along a highway and such.


Just curious about the use of them in this game.

The prisons are to support the stations. If a station is full it will not be able to deal with anymore crime. The prison is to collect the prisoners from Stations and Head Quarters and hold them in the prison instead of the station or... The ring is a noise radius.

so the prison is where they end up, as in the stations always will ship people there verse hold them?


Are they effected by pollution? Aka if i build one near dumps, or incinerator will they get sick, or more unhappy?

The prison has transport vans that drive around to the stations and pick prisoners up from them.

I don't think prisons are affected by pollution, but if you build in such an area you'll want to keep an eye on it just in case.

They are not effected by pollution at all.

Because you didn't build any.

Or you do not own the 'After Dark' DLC... that's possible too.
