tinyE: I went ahead and built a separate SuperMax section (only six cells) with it's own showers and dining. Problem is I haven;t gotten any SuperMax prisoners yet and no one in Max has done anything bad enough to warrant my putting them in there.

Sachys: told you before, its not a case of "if you build it, they will come" - its a case of it will happen - then you will need it (thats what your initial holding cells are for really.

death row is summat else - you'll maybe get one once in a blue moon and it costs a bomb to setup - have a bomb ready to blow when you see one on the intake sheet (and LOADS of security measures).
I'm a pro with Death Row. I'm starting a new prison now but in my last one I was cooking a guy a week, totally legal, with no security problems at all.

I haven't gotten around to Death row at al... not sure can I be bothered tbh - them and maximum security seem to be a constant pain.. I'll just stick to my larceny and traffic offenders :D

I've never had a Death Row inmate that was a problem. So long as you put a shower and phone in the cell they never leave the cell but for parole hearings. In fact I only have one regular guard on that row and he's bored. :P

Super Max is another issue. Those guys are a ridiculous pain and I'm tempted to bulldoze the building.

I only have one and he's currently in permanent solitary for killing a guard. Well two guards actually.

Hey, have you ever gotten anyone to pass the General Education thing? I keep getting so close but then they stop going to class.

Has anyone figured out the ration of beds to dorm yet? I'm sitting here building different shapes over and over but the number of beds allowed doesn't seem to mesh with any specific layout size.

Okay it seems to be 1 prisoner for every 4 squares which makes the new bunk beds totally useless because you need the same amount of total floor space regardless if you are using 5 bunk beds or 10 regular beds. What a bummer. I thought I was going to be able to pack em in like sardines.

Please tell me this is a bug. The description clearly says you can have as many prisoners in dorms as you can fit beds.

Dorms? Don't they normally call them wards in mad houses ;)

I actually have two set up (40 beds each) but I'm using them for Minimum Security only! You'd be insane to try anything else.

Haven't had a chance to try them yet - Mini metro is taking up all my "15 minutes, let's do something constructive" moments. I'm glad to hear they brought in bunk beds though - I made the mistake early of thinking that if I put two beds in a room, multiple cons would habitate the room
