Any way to make prisoners able to pass through doors?

[The Nature Man: Rich Flare]

I have the prison labor mod installed and am forcing my guys to work outside in a fenced in area. Well i usually just keep the door leading to the outside held open and the prisoners will go out and work, but it turned winter and now i cant hold the door open because it'll get too cold in the room. Is there any way around this besides having my guys take them outside every day?

Some time ago i was looking for a auto open doors mod that was running on a timer ... like the selected doors would open and stay open from 8 morning to 9 evening it was for another use tho but i did not find any ..... might be time to ask in the modding parts of the forum about this.

.. useless answer - I *think* prisoners can pass through stall doors in Dub's Bad Hygeine -- but so does the weather.

Can you possibly assign them indoor winter-time work - like cutting stones / making statues (hippie slave camp, those things sell for a good penny once the pawns get good at Art) ?

why not use the lock mod and unluck the doors you whant prisoners to use

just forbid the door (F).
if everyone is outside then forbid it, so they stay out.
dont know if this work, cause i dont use the prison labor mod.
but if they are outside and cant go inside i think they will just work? til you want them back inside.
you just enable it back again and forbid it again so they stay inside.
ofcourse requires abit of attention and micromanagment, but i use F all the time to block some pawns inside some rooms and its not a big deal.

Them, not working isnt my problem, they work fine, my problem is that i have to hold the door open for them to get to the outside and work, but when i hold the door open the cold comes in and they freeze.

I believe there is a zoning tool for prisoners in that mod that should fix this issue. Just zone where you want them to have access and they should behave accordingly.

Also, the way you set up your prison helps. I give my prisoners small cells to sleep in and a "common area" between their cells and the outside prison yard. Set the prison yard/common area door to stay open in the day time and right before their work day ends set it to stay closed. The cell doors themselves are set to stay open at all times.

Use the locks mod. It's the same author as the one from prison labor. He even states that you should use the locks mod to create prisoner blocks

Don't use this mod if you have animal pens.
