PRISON ARCHITECT WIKI PROGRAMS FREE
(Note they will finish eating if eat was placed before free time but will not start a meal during free time). (to fill exercise and comfort needs)ĭuring Free Time, prisoners will do all activities except for (begin) eating, working a job or going to a program (classes, drug treatment, etc.). However you can add outdoor showers and toilets marked as part of the yard so prisoners can use them on yard time (for hygiene needs) along with weight benches and seating areas. However, during Yard time, every prisoner will go to the yard, even if they would be better off going to the shower or the bathroom. Prisoners will go to the yard to exercise or use objects if they need to during Free Time as well. Note that prisoners will only exercise/call their family should they need to. Prisoners will go to the Yard and start exercising and/or call their loved ones should a telephone be available. However, the forced shower time can help control prisoner flow instead of letting them choose where they want to be at that hour. Thus it is possible to have no shower time in your regime, replacing it with free time. While it's not strictly required, most players choose to implement an hour of shower to ensure that everybody is squeaky clean and in new clothes.Īs of Alpha 11, if a prisoner showers during Free Time, he will also change into clean clothes. If you have toilets in your shower area, Prisoners will use them if needed during shower time. Prisoners only change into clean clothes (satisfying the Clothing need) after a Shower (needs confirmation). Prisoners will go to the Shower and satisfy their hygiene need. (Also note that if you place free time after eat on the schedule then prisoners who arrived late to eat will finish eating during free time instead of going hungry but they will not begin the eating process in free time, it has to start during eat time) You need to be careful when changing the time of the Eat Regime, because if you were to set Eat right before the current time, your Cooks wouldn't have enough time to prepare the food, which may under some circumstances lead to a Riot if Prisoners are desperate for food. Cooks will start preparing the food 4 hours earlier. Prisoners will go to their cell block's assigned Canteen and get a plate of horrible slop (or decent food, depending on your prison's nutritional policy) from the Serving Table. Prisoners will start eating only during this time.
PRISON ARCHITECT WIKI PROGRAMS UPDATE
(You can schedule other things during those hours which would prevent sleep, but trying to get sleep to function outside of those hours will not work)Īs of Update 7, Prisoners are now able to sleep during the daytime, allowing nocturnal regime schedules. Sleep will only function correctly from 10pm to 8am. If a Prisoner has smuggled a digging tool into their cell and has a high enough Freedom need, he/she will start digging a tunnel from his toilet when he's supposed to sleep. Some prisoners, however, might refuse sleep, and sleep instead during the Free Time. Prisoners will be locked up in their cells and are required to sleep. If none of this applies the inmates will limit themselves to standing around in their cell, supposedly thinking about their mistakes, their families, the lives they'll have after prison and the blueprint of the prison's utility room they somehow got their hands on to, but keep in mind that prisoners have been observed being idle even if they have needs and the items to satisfy them in their cell. If they are locked up between 10pm to 8am they may choose to sleep, otherwise they will wander in the cell and use whatever happens to be available to meet other needs ( toilet, shower, entertainment, etc.). Prisoners will be locked-up in their cells, which they are not allowed to leave their cells. However, it is possible to successfully run a prison without using all of them. There are 7 different types of Regime slots.
