Danger Level

Danger Level is a measure of the overall danger of your prison, according to your Chief of Security. Introduced in Alpha 10, the danger levels are only shown if you have hired a Chief of Security via the bureaucracy menu.

When the danger level is sufficiently high, riots, fights, and escape attempts will occur in the prison.

All prisoners have a "boiling point", which can triggered by any the following circumstances:

The prisoners' needs are not being met.
Prisoners are subjected to long lockdowns or unnecessary searches.
The presence of Armed Guards or Riot Guards.

When a prisoner reaches their "boiling point", they will turn hostile and begin to steal more contraband, fight more often, make escape attempts, and participate in or even start riots.

Minimum security prisoners are the least likely to reach their boiling point.

Medium security prisoners will reach their boiling point quicker than minimum security.

Maximum security prisoners will reach their boiling point at the quickest rate of all prisoners.
