I like how you have it set up! Leaving yourself room to expand is smart!

If you find you’re struggling with long walk times, think about planning your prison with the inmates’ schedule in mind. So if they wake up, shower, then eat, then work you might want to plan your prison with those facilities laid out roughly in that order so nobody has to backtrack and waste time.

You can also have multiple cell blocks with duplicated facilities in each, so a little group of cells with their own showers and canteen etc. if you can plan a tiny efficient prisoner block with a balanced proportion of facilities, you can easily scale it up by just duplicating it over and over.

Too much free time 👀 you’re kind haha

Am I the only one that makes their prisons living hell?

Do they really have time to go from canteen to shower in 1h?
