Prison Architect: Prisoners' needs
Last update:
Problems of prisoners can be seen in the Needs tab in the Reports menu (screen above). In order to gain access to it, you have to hire a psychologist - the tool won't work otherwise.
Satisfying the prisoners' needs is the basic condition you need to fulfil to run a prospering facility. If one or more of the needs remain unsatisfied for a long period of time, soon enough you will have to ready for fight and further on bigger riots. Those are unnecessary complication which you should avoid at all cost.
In the table below you can see the needs of prisoners and method of satisfying them.

Bladder, Bowels | Toilet |
Sleep | Bed |
Food | Food in the canteen |

Clothing | A working and effective laundry |
Comfort | Bench |
Exercise | Running on the Yard, weights bench |
Defence | No riots |
Freedom | Access to daylight |
Family | Phone Booth, Visitor Table |
