How can I put a slave collar on a captured slave?

Assign them an outfit that requires a slave collar or select them and right click a slave collar and hit force equip, the same as changing apparel on any other colonist.

I mixed it up. It was a prisoner so I couldn't control them to do anything. Prisoner and slave are 2 different things, I've learned.

A trick to make prisoners equip things is to strip their clothes and then leave the clothes you want them to wear in the cell. Not sure if it works for slave collars, but might be worth a try.

Good idea. I did try dropping the collar in the prison cell but I don't think I stripped them first. Now that prisoner is gone, but in the future stripping them entirely and then dropping clothes is worth a try, especially when they are unhappy about wearing ratty apparel. I have to experiment in this regard.

Given that the slave collar does nothing much to a captured prisoner (because slave suppression isn't a thing at that stage), would something like https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2912063732 be useful? That way you can set up the outfit and they can automatically equip the right stuff after you 'recruit' them.

Failijg that, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2877763074 could work - though you may need to either have your pawn right-click on an incapacitated prisoner, or temporarily assign a surgery/operation to the prisoner to make them lay down first.

I was just about to link dress patients, but Kittenpox beat me to it.

Capture a pawn, strip them, and then dress them in collars/jumpsuits/whatever while they're still injured. Or just leave clothes in their cells. They only get clothes via the Assign tab once they're "recruited" in some fashion - by default non-colonists will wear anything available.

Some collars can be useful for prisoners if you have access to them. The Electric and Crypto collars from Simple Slavery Collars have functions, an electric shock and cryo-sleep function. Get a jailbreak? No problem! Zap the poor fools and heal their burned necks, or pick up the sleeping bodies.

The Explosive collar, however, comes with a massive mood debuff which can lead to more mood or prison breaks. "They're trying to kill me!" -60

I don't think a stripped prisoner will put on a slave collar on their own because it doesn't cover anything up or provide any insulation. Nor would there be any benefit for a prisoner to be wearing a slave collar. Unless they are a masochist.
