Added Space posted:There's also a disparity between the "day" that passes and the length of sentences. Prisoners will serve one year for every 2 or 4 game days that pass. I think it's 1 year per ten days. So Eaton will be released on Day 6500 or thereabouts, so long as he doesn't rack up any more murders in that time.

Also depending on the size of the prison you selected at the beginning (Small/Medium or Large), the timescale is different again - Large maps have a slower timescale.

Yeah me too. Already find myself wishing there was a Yard/Work option like there is Free Time/Work and Lockup/Work. In the past I rarely used Free Time, preferring to just dump everyone into well equipped yards. Then again the heating system probably changes that anyway.

I think I'm editing images the stupid and tedious way; write-up's otherwise done but ugh. Plus, no air-con. I can PM you whatever you need to know, if you want. (If you need visuals, I also dumped the raw screencaps on imgur, thinking that would help me. Some of them are unimportant glamour shots though.)

It's unsolicited advice time! I use GIMP for editing, my workflow goes: Copy screenshot to work folder -> rename -> drop into GIMP -> crop/edit -> overwrite. Then I upload to lpix using Rightload. Phone posting, so I can't give links, but a little googling will get you going and the lpix plugin is listed in one of the stickies here. If you don't want to take the time for setting up an lpix account there's an Imgur option. Rightload can output a list of the images you uploaded with IMG tags already included, so it becomes a simple copy/paste procedure.

(Here are the factors in why this is taking me so long. It's ludicrously hot. I blitzed through my part in the wee hours of the morning...a few mornings ago, so a lot of this has been looking at the screencaps I took and, despite having been sober at the time, still having that wait-I-did-that feeling. My brain is quite broken. So, here's the first day.) This seems to be a problem that sorts itself out. He escaped because a door was opened and he slipped through. It happens. He overdosed because he was addicted and there were no programs to combat that. I've fixed that; what's the point of earning money we can only spend on the prison if we don't spend it on the prison?  Well gosh darn, look what the shake-up revealed - what goes up must come down. If prisoners have outside access within ten metres of an outside fence, they have access to the world's vices. However, I'm not here to fix that.  I use some of the investment money to clear our debt so we're not stuck paying interest for noth- oooooo a pretty picture!  Not gonna lie; this prison could use that guard right about now. As the shakedown continues, I put my plan into motion. Every goon makes their mark; this will be mine.  It will be in the northwest corner, and it will solve a major, major issue with this prison. I think you can guess who he is. On a related note, I request authorisation for guard towers and snipers to shove in them, and notice that the lawyer has taken the money for loosening requirements on cells and the ability to house and execute condemned inmates...and done something between gently caress and all with it. I insist that he earn his excessive wage lest he lose it. ((Someone told the lawyer to stop and focus on something else, and forgot to put him back on task.)) So small cells will be realised in my time. Death Row will not.  This is Paul Dillon. He was on his way to parole. From the look of his record, he would have gotten out today. Whatever you do in life, don't pull a Paul Dillon.  Two of these men have been sent here for the crime of guard motives and leaving the 3D mode as an incomplete finicky Easter Egg. I remembered my predecessor's request that I look into their previous intake as best as possible. I called upon the three CI's for a bit of hot goss.  Benjamin Luther: Well, everyone's got it out for the guys in protective custody. Devi: You don't say.  Warren Lock: There's this one dude who used to be a prison guard. Devi: Go on. Lock: ...nah.  Leif Dickelson: Yeah, someone wants that former guard to get got. Devi: Snitches? Killed? In THIS prison? Mein gott. Thank you Warren for being the vaguely useful one. I might be able to sleep at night knowing Blake has a chance to wake up tomorrow.  I repurposed the second canteen in the binary ward into a yard since the current outdoor one exposes prisoners to many a fine contraband. This isn't the Hunger Games, these men aren't tributes,   Mark Morris stayed out of the kerfuffle.   I then proceed to click every single toilet in maxsec - just the toilets - and have them searched. I have legitimate reasons.  I think Chris Delay has found his calling.  Yet another reason to help with prisoner addictions. I could legit get on a soapbox about how society treats addicts, but there's a lot of noise coming from...oh no. It could only be one thing. But how? Pittsburgh Lambic posted:Just fine, the ol' chap. He does seem to be a bit better behaved when he's only there for a temporary stay; if told he will never be let out of solitary he instantly flips his lid and has to be subdued. On some level, I can't say I blame him.  ...ah, poo poo. The guard towers were still awaiting authorisation. Everyone else was awake. This was the worst time to transfer him to the tomb, but...it was my first day. I insisted that since he was already out and killing dogs  and trying to escape  the cold fact that he apparently killed a pregnant dog  that we had to move NOW.   Except...we didn't. The original plan was to keep him in his outdoor solitary cell until everything was ready, then change the zoning so the only available SuperMax solitary cell was Eaton's Tomb itself. We could have just sent him back to his pen and continued as intended. But we did it.   ...seriously, who's the snap-happy chappy around here?  As much as I would draw satisfaction from watching Eaton march to his last home, I had a whole other rest of the prison to watch crumble, particularly in the brain wing. Binary wing. ...sod off, it looks like half a brain. Apropo for the management of this place, yes?   And so soon, another prett-  Is this a meme around here? I must have been distracted by the picture's apparent ubiquitousness. Next thing I heard was a taser go off. It came from the...northwest. Pittsburgh Lambic posted:Just fine, the ol' chap.

His survival sure as hell wasn't part of the plan. Doney was seeking spiritual guidance. He thought he would find it in a staff-only area.  Maybe I'll ask him if seeing our resident death machine with half his face caved in lead to an epiphany. A doctor also approaches the unconscious, uncuffed Eaton.  GURL Once he comes to, she gets the hell out of dodge. Are the doctors around here so bored that they'll make their own patients?   Because last time I checked, none of y'all can cure death.  SEE?  "Should I ask for an office here?" "Just take the cadavers, cadaver taker."  Remarkably, I have a victory in the middle of this poo poo show. My policy of individually searching each toilet and nothing else pays off. A full-on shakedown tips prisoners off and makes it harder to find tunnels.  ...yeah, I'm not in the mood for celebrating right now.  Eaton cuts through these doors like butter. They're the strongest we've got, but even using two of them does little to stop him. Be cheaper to use staff doors, and they'd be about as effective.   Dammit! gently caress this.  And I can't wait to raise funds internally; I need those towers YESTERDAY.  Thankfully they've just been authorised. The cellblock grant is a lot more organic; I'm sure we'll get there eventually.  "Seriously; it would save money and I'd get to know you guys better if I just parked here and - " "Piss off, Sharon."  Sharon left these guards behind. Hearse must have been full.  He's here. And is swift to point out something sorely lacking:  More armoury space, more lockers, more armed guards, more secure more prisoners.  It's a very pretty gun. Pretty gun needs pretty name. #namethegun  The barrier is complete. Only an athletic workman who is autistically dedicated to fixing the internal tomb door can get past it.   Nine deaths by the mid-point of my regime (Moon was like that when I got here.) A workman trapped with Eaton in his tomb, momentarily spared only by Eaton's bladder demanding more of his attention. Shotgun shells littering the ground so completely that they may as well have been left there as an alternative to cobblestone.  After yet another bloodbath, the call from the mayor didn't surprise me.  Whoop-de-fuckin'-do. Seriously? That was it? That was all that mattered to him? Not even a full day of:  Something wasn't right here. *** To be continued! Also, #namethegun (For the curious, 3D 'glamour' shots of the brain/binary wing's cafeteria/arena and THE PIT's dormitory. Somehow the respect for paint on the ground goes up to painted bunk beds, so they just...lie on top of...one another...instead...) (You've made a 24 hour nightclub of a particular persuasion is what you've done, Pittsburgh Lambic. The name still works for it, though.)

Previously on Orange is the new Dwarf: ***  Food up, parole tough. There, that'll posh us up a bit.   I put these two known instigators in permanent lockdown. They still have their beds, their toilets...they just can't sabotage other inmates' roads to social recovery as easily. That's the theory, anyway.  90 minutes later, and the workman is still not dead. This state of affairs can't last. I get word that the first tower has been built.  And not a moment too soon; the truce in the tomb has broken down to the typical relationship Eaton has with the entire world.  Thankfully there's a pile of concrete there, and that's what he's punching. For now.  This is the Destiny Run. Oaf Reaper and her handler sit in the right tower, while James Eaton has a front row seat for her eponym's inevitable bid for freedom. Currently, for that shot at freedom, Eaton would have to bash down his doors, evade sniper fire, punch his way through THE PIT and wade through the resulting slurry, make a mad dash for the road, and punch down three road gates and a 'doorman' guard.  And possibly some building materials that got stored in your tiny corridor. Because I was trying to emphasise to my workmen how important it was to take down the retaining fence, I missed most of the new intake - but I saw this guy and fell in aww.  On my way back to Eaton's Tomb, I noticed that the parole hearings were on.  Somebody had to go and be a Paul Dillon. Even Paul Dillon wasn't a Paul Dillon today.  Good man. ... "GUARD DOWN! GUARD DOWN!" That specific strain of fear in my guards' voices... Eaton was loose again.   *sigh* I'll add it to the rotation:  The sniper took the shot. I took a lovely drone to the skies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHU_rGe3Dhs (For the purists who will not touch a cam-at-screen LP even for less than two minutes: Eaton pursues a workman for the punchings, but gets shot by the nearest sniper twice before he can emphatically express his dislike for hi-vis vests. When he recovers, he shuffles back to his cube and sits there. I, at 6:30am after staying up all night, am excite.)  James Eaton - artist's rendering. Not gonna lie, once my amazement wore off I was a bit creeped out. At least we knew where we stood with Eaton before. There was stuff; he broke it. There was people; he killed them. This new man was an unknown to us.  He even closed the door behind him. Jolene the Guard was so baffled that she tazed him just to cuff him and put him exactly where he already was.   Meanwhile, in the rest of the prison... I added and/or changed these structures:  And then I saw the doctors in the infirmary dancing around their single addiction patient. They might have been singing.  That poor bastard. Speaking of which - and I never thought that would be an appropriate segue... Even when Eaton was given three strips of bacon he meekly took the tray and ate in silence, handing it back with no resistance once finished. I decided to observe his next meal in case that was an aberration.    It's the kind of peaceful one associates with babies given a shot of vodka in their bottle of milk.  Wow. Sweet, sweet suppression at last. I assume this was what the last warden was trying to do with THE PIT, and I'd just managed it with THE James Eaton. ...hooray for the second amendment? Nothing else of note happened before the changeover. Probably MOAR FIGHT in the brain's cafeteria, but since everyone survives that I must have become blind to it. I guess once Eaton cooled his poo poo, everything cooled. Ooo - found another picture:     This is the point where my current tenure ends. I've marked the areas crap can be thrown into with pathway planning markers, and ask that, even if it fails or becomes redundant, Eaton's Tomb remain standing. It's my very tiny mark on a very big world. As I look back on my experience, I realise I may have spoken too soon in regards to my preliminary assessment of Eaton's mental state. He will recover from his wounds and likely his spirit too. The nightmare is not over, but now there's moments we can awaken from it. From the looks of things, James 'Krombopulous' Eaton is going to spend the rest of his unnatural life being reminded that bullets hate him. The nightmare is not over, but now we get to share it with him. I suggest that, counterintuitively, his doors be swapped out for weaker alternatives (you can dismantle them one at a time and zone the tiny space accordingly so he's always in a solitary cell - but only after he's undergone suppressive fire) so he can get to the bullets quicker, not cost so much, and bait less guards for the deathpunching. Or you can get sick of him, break the fence, build a maze to the break, and coax him into attempting escape; the snipers will show absolutely no mercy, but their accuracy is not guaranteed. As long as you can live with the possibility of James Eaton being a free man, of course. The nightmare is not over, but we signed up to endure it for the sake of our civilised society.  Egads. ***  ...something is not right here. *passes baton* ohandipaidnoattentiontothetemperaturesystembyeeeeeee...

It would seem to me the best way to stop Eaton treating the prison like it was his own personal Hunger Games would be to lock him up with one or two other prisoners, so he could get really murdery. Station 6 or so heavily armed guards outside his room and then when he does go mental see if you can't accidentally shotgun him to death. Of course then he might steal a gun and things will go nuts from there.

Eh, the sniper will get him eventually I bet. Hopefully.  I keep trying to play this myself but so far I can't stop myself from trying to plan out an entire prison before even laying the first brick.

I did have the thought that if you had another legendary prisoner, you could rezone the 'airlock' of Eaton's Tomb into another solitary cell, put up a barrier fence on the outside once the challenger was inside, lock the internal door open, and sell tickets to the CCTV feed. (You cannot actually sell tickets to a CCTV feed.) (...unless there's like a blood sport mod or something.)

You can 'sell' your prisons from the valuations tab of the report file, for first time players I really recommend just messing around and trying to make a prison that is functional but not perfect. Get a feel for what works and what doesn't, then sell your prison and turn off intake on the one you start with the money from the sale. You should have enough cushion to build out full cell blocks and do all the bureaucracy research before you admit a single inmate.
