I've had the game since launch so I'm pretty familiar with the set up and how to do everything. Here are my issues

  1. Whenever I try to summons an informant they stay idle and it doesn't let me do anything. I don't have the ability to fire them all that shows is summons and when I click on the summons it does nothing. I have a security room with all the requirements so that's not the issue.
  2. I have tons of classrooms but whenever I try to set a program for the police taser course it tells me that there's no classroom found. It only lets me do two classes of the Taser and the guards never seem to pass the class they just go and nothing ever happens. I use the quick rooms so all the requirements are met.
  3. so I make the plans for the electrical cable and when the workers go they only construct about 80% of the cable. The rest of it turns red and tells me that there's no path available to get to the electrical cable when there is an open path.
  4. I have a huge number of deaths from prisoners and guards in my prison, is there a way to reset without deleting the prison?
  5. Why do the guards kill so many prisoners?

These issues are all in one prison that I created

I regard to No. 3, if 2 walls cross each other forming a "+", they will net be able to install cable at the one square where the 2 walls cross. If you temporarily destroy one square of wall, it will solve the problem.

  • Are they actually going to the security room? If they are then they're working properly and if you zoom out from the informant view to see the whole prison, you should then be able to see any 'tips' the informant has given you about contraband etc. Once you've clicked to summon, what happens next?

  • Is the Chief attending the classes as he should be? Normally the 'no classes available' warning is more to do with the time slots as opposed to the room. Check there's not already a class running at the same time.

  • Are the areas you're trying to lay cable parts of wall sections? Can't answer this one without seeing the prison I don't think.

  • Nope!

Why do the guards kill so many prisoners?

  • You need tasers!

Also, keep in mind that they can't build electrical cables under perimeter walls.

  1. No, they are not going to the security room. They continue what they were doing. If they were eating and I summons them, they continue to eat. If they were walking to the yard, they continue to walk to the yard. If they were sleeping, they continue to sleep.

  2. I have one class from 6 am to 7 am and another from 7 am to 8 am. When I try to add more, it says no rooms found. Am I only allowed 2 one hour time slots?

  3. I place the cables so they lead out the door and under the cement outside the classroom. I will post a picture.

I would really like to get these problems solved because I've been working on this prison for over a month and a half now. Please help

Is it possible that you have those classrooms surrounded by a fence without an opening?

It might not be the path to the cables- it might be the building material's path. Do you have any blocked paths around your storage area that might be blocking the transfer of objects? Without seeing the whole prison, a lot of these issues are hard to figure out. If you're not able to get a nice hi res screen shot, would you be willing to upload it to World of Wardens for us to have a look at?

Re- informants. Just want to clarify what's happening. So you're clicking summon and the window is just closing and the status of the prison remains the same? Sort of like if you'd just quit out of the screen and not clicked to summon?

Re class times- I have a strong feeling that you can't schedule staff classes at the same time as inmate programs. Do you have any inmate programs starting at 8am?

Here are the pictures of me trying to summons an informant. When I summons them they continue to do what they were already doing and not go to the office. I am only allowed the option to summons them, I can't fire them.
