So here's the problem. Every single time I make a prison, the inmates arrive and enter the building, which the guards will then search every single one that arrives. It's always one prisoner that is always found with contraband. So after that happens, the prisoner leaves right out the door and stays outside. I even tried making the prison its own room and made it staff area only and no officer reacted. No officer ran after him and brought him back. I tried lock down, shake down. I tried punishing , which no guard responded too. I even tried moving the guard over to his location and once I released it to autopilot, the guard walked away. I even tried hiring more guards near him and not happened. I even deleted the game and then reinstalled it and it happened again. I'm asking for help cuz honestly this is a good game and I do enjoy it, but I can't take this ■■■■ anymore. The prisoner won't even try to escape it just poops, and eventually dies without food or water. The only time a officer actually did something was when I searched him once again.. And still the officer searched and left. Has anyone else dealt with this ■■■■?

Only thing I can think of offhand is that he in particular has no place to go. Do you have a solitary confinement wing? You said he was found with contraband so he may be awaiting solitary punishment and if there is none I think they just stand around.

I'm 99% sure @Bigurn is right on this one. He's waiting to be moved to solitary confinement as punishment for the contraband, so he's got an action in-progress that he can't complete.

You can be 100% sure, if there is no solitary inmates just wander around the prison tilll there is a solitary available.

When starting a new prison always build a couple solitary cells for inmates bringing contraband, by default regime they will be punished to spend some time in solitary.
Or enjoy watching lone wanderers.

I had a similar problem with protective custody people standing around, till I deconstructed the holding cell in pc unit and built actual cells a dude was just standing there in max security around a gang member.

The other 1% was just hedging in case the OP didn't have enough standard cells built, mainly :wink:

Oh darn never went into my mind that could be a reason too indeed, prolly because i always have more cells vs inmates :relaxed:
