First off, I'm enjoying this game a lot! I'm very glad I got it but I've been noticing a few bugs in the game where they refuse to do certain things so I had to restart my prison more than once just to fix the bugs.

Another thing, I don't know exactly what things the prisoners buy in the shops but if I order my guards to do a "shakedown" will they take away the things the prisoners bought? Just wondering cause I don't wanna screw around my prisoners. Oh and I'm playing this on a ps4 btw

The shop is officially sanctioned so it doesn't sell contraband. It sells a range of products which inmates can use to satisfy certain needs and the effect is pretty much instant anyways.

If you zoom in you can see shampoo (for Hygiene need), candy bar (for Food need) and what I like to call "leisure interest magazine with lady on cover" (for "Recreation" need).

Hey JC! You able to provide us with any more details on the bugs? Sometimes with workers the issue is to do with how many queued jobs they have. Because we chose not to limit the number of queued tasks and the amount of content you can have in your maps, if either of those numbers gets particularly high you will find some AI issues. Normally, if my workers are refusing to do anything, I just fix this by cancelling any big build instructions I've got.

Well they don't really have many qued jobs, only things like buildings (more or less 10x10) or building beds or things like that. Another bug I found was when a prisoner was sent to the solitary and then never came out for days, even tho there was 7 empty cells but he just stayed in solitary pretending its the only cell in the entire prison, I even destroyed the solitary cell and then the prisoner just wonder around the Prison during sleep time... again 7 empty cells. There are also bugs where the prisoner just simply refuse to sleep on the bed and kept complaining about being tired, only way I could fix that was replacing his bed with a replica bed.

Oh another question and sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, maybe I'm just bad with math but it says Im earning $1K daily and I wanted to see if thats true by taking a screenshot on day 51, 12 am but then comparing with the screenshot on day 52, 12 am I actually made a $157 profit instead of a thousand dollar profit so... I don't know whats going on?

Oh and thanks for the reply barticle and D11
