Well, guards still try to get Tazer Safety whatsisname at 6am which aborts instantly after charging $$$ (as it has to be in work hours or something), and have to be moved manually to another time.

And parole wants to start at 6am also? Nobody's awake at that time and the prisoners don't awaken/leave their cells either :/ I'm not going to change my regime just because of that... I guess I'll also have to manually set parole hearings.

Just curious to see, but where are you guys at in terms of funding? I just picked up this game a little while ago and got my funding up from the base 30,000 to just over 500,000 starting my fourth prison!

Every update I sell my old prison and start it anew (more or less the same layout).

Valuation is at about 1,000,000 now.

Nonsense! Rise and shine at 5am! New prison wake time...if they care about leaving early they wont bitch too much

How do you make the lousy gits get out of bed?  I set the schedule earlier, but they just lay around sleeping.

[martinuzz]

Round them up at the yard, they'll get out of bed for that

[puke]

Ah, thats my problem.  I was trying to give them time in the cell to use the toilet, but they were squandering it on sleep.

Send them to bed earlier so they fix their sleep needs earlier.

Actually I keep them awake until 1 am (with dinner time). They'll wake automatically at 8 am no matter what, and I give them lockdown for an hour to shower and watch TV in their rooms. Then it's breakfast time. The rest of my regime is basically work with a few free hours here and there.

They always get out of their cells all mellow and compliant. That's why I don't want to force them to wake up for interviews or whatever.

You'd think you'd be able to set a work schedule. Like, parole hearings at X, kitchen delivery at Y, classes W At time Z, etc. Obviously a little different than prisoner schedules since, aside from the different classes, they're not mutually exclusive. Whether it should be diffused across the myriad tabs or in one place, I'm not sure. The UI would be fairly clunky either way, for different reasons, unless they have the skills to do it nicely.

The buggers just mill around the cell not sleeping!

Funding seems to be a heck of a lot easier... either that or I'm just building off of my old auto-run prison. 
In v.a29, I was making money thanks to 10% parole and over 600 prisoners of varying quality.  Now that I can have multiple parole stations... and no loss at reoffending, pure monies.  Under this new thing, it is probably viable to run a lowsec prison.  It'll be revolving door type, with a ton of parole stations. 
Screw the workshop.  I built 2 workshops and its full of exports just sitting there, cause noone is transporting em to the export station.  Lazy workers.

Funds currently at 5mil.  3.5mil of that in cash.

usually if you give it a few days they will adjust...unless you didn't move back the time they wake up as well. I put toilets, phones, pool tables, workout equipment and showers in the yard myself...that way yard time is more like controlled free time where they can take care of needs but still be in one spot

Prisoners will not go to bed earlier than 10pm and will not sleep later than 8am, no matter when you set sleep time.
They will even sleep in their free time if it's past 10pm.

[dennislp3]

I have seen plenty of prisoners sleep before 10pm on free time if the need is high enough...never heard of the 10pm-8am thing
