Bureaucracy

The Policy Tab can be unlocked by a Warden researching "Prison Policy".

Policy Tab

It works to assign automatical punishments to your prisoners whenever they cause determinate incidents.

Moreover you can set the Nutritional Policy, assigning quantity and variety of the meals.

Incidents and Punishments

When an incident occurs your Guards automatically follow the procedures you choosed on the Policy Tab:

Search

You can set whether to search him or his cell or both.

Punishments

You can sent him on Lockdown or on Solitary confinement.

Lenght

You can set how many (half) hours you want him locked up.

Apparently, there is no limit to how much time you want a prisoner to be confined.
