Can I clear an area of my prison for everyone BUT max security prisoners?
How can I make sure that only low and medium security inmates are in a specific area? Is it possible to reverse the overlay you can set? It seems like you are only able to clear areas for low OR medium security prisoners, but sharing is not possible. The thing I want here is to make sure that max security prisoners are not in certain areas.
Best Answer
No, if you set an area as shared it's for all classes of prisoner. If you want a room/section for more than one type, but not all, you have to build it for each prisoner type and assign only that type via deployment.
Having said that, you can achieve something close using different times in the regime for different groups to have access to the same room. e.g. sharing the canteen.
