I tend to only let minsec and medsec have jobs. maxsec I will give a library/ prayer room e.t.c and access to the reform programs for those rooms, but not for the jobs themselves. But all levels of security in my prison have "work" slots. And all but supermax have their own libraries.

I also tend to upskill prisoners. For example. the kitchen/laundry/library e.t.c in my medsec area, will allow minsec prisoners to work there. And medsec prisoners will work in the maxsecs kitchen/laundry/library e.t.c. I guess to show them that they aren't the worst in there and they can be good people^.^ lol Everything else is run by staff

Hope this helps^.^

you wouldnt happen to know if we could mod books to improve a prisoners intellegence so the pass courses better ive been meaning to have a look into that

@sisco Also a good idea but I think there are to many other things that play into the success rate of a prisoner.

Right now I'm thinking about of having the bookshelves being filled with books. For that cause I need to know if libarys are common and prisoners are working in it so the shelves can be filled or if I have to think about something else.

When seeing this mod, I thought:"Great! Destroy the Chapel and stop building the Library! Bookshelfs in a common romm are that mch easier(and cheaper, but I am in Sandbox anyway)!"
So a Library need would be contraprodutive - not only for me, I assume.

i thought libarys was going to deliver books to cells when it was added so it might be coming at some point maybe devs are waiting to add some more stuff for cells to store books or something not sure but still its very handy for the nastier prisoners

I have two Libraries, with educated prisoners of mixed security levels working in them. I think this is a great idea. You could base it on Laundry maybe, with a cart or box of books replacing the laundry basket. And having some kind of staff member (Janitor probably makes as much sense as anyone) help finish off the deliveries after scheduled Work ends.

I put a bookshelf into each cell. And a few bookshelves in the common room by chairs.

Yes yes and yes.

I also put a bookshelf into each cell.
