Update!
They've added prisoner reform things, according to the email. Haven't watched the update video yet.

[BigD145]

Tazers, body armor, workshop requires training, classroom is a new room with outside teachers hired, psych therapy, carpentry, kitchen training, and that's about it. The "dog stuck on door resting" bug appears to have been fixed.

I wish he had gone to see the psychologist before deciding to do this spur of the moment thing.

What does the taser upgrade do?

You have a tazer upgrade that gives tazers to armed guards, and one that gives it to guards and dog handlers.
Tasers are a oneshot weapon that knocks a prisoner unconsious and then need 1 hour to recharge.

Video's here. I really like the idea of the education systems, it could be an interesting mechanic.

Now I just really want a riot to start in my prison so I can unleash the hordes of tazer wielding guards on them,

Yeah, I meant the second one on the tree. So, for dog handlers eh? I suppose it could prevent situations like this one dead-but-reanimates-to-get-into-fights dog I have laying around after its handler got killed.

Chris said he considers Tazer Deployment a possible game breaker. He wants feedback on what people think about it, because he's not sure it'll stay.

It appears Tasers are good for small scale discipline. In a fight it takes a couple seconds to fire off, and then they're going to go back to whatever method they were using prior. I suppose if you're ultimate goal is least prisoners hurt, you'd want Tasers. If order and discipline is your priorities, Tasers aren't something you want.

Tazers are more of a "I'm alone and there's two or more prisoners after me" weapon. You reduce your attackers by one and survive long enough for backup.

They take too long to fire for what I've seen. They basically ensure your prisoner goes down with the minimum damage. With how vicious dogs are, and that prisoners will fight until they're damn well ready to fall down, I think of the taser more as a life-saving-conflict-resolution tool

[Aklyon]

What if you have a lot of tasers prepared at once?

[BigD145]

One taser per guard.

In my most recent playthrough, I noticed that the education system really balances the workshop. It's still viable,  but now it's no longer "get grants, get prison labor, get workshop, get all the money." Education system needs a bit of fine tuning and bugfixing, but overall it's wonderful

[BigD145]

The whole point of the education system is to make prisoners into reformed and productive members of society when they get out, not to make you money. Got a prisoner interested in woodworking and they get released in 4 days? You should still spend the money on them.

[Chiefwaffles]

That is true, but it doesn't stop the education system from greatly balancing prison labor.

[nenjin]

Woah, totally in the wrong thread.
