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.
Tip (about complaining)
Up to Alpha 20, by editing the Save file, it's possible to set a punishment for complaining, despite it being removed from the Policy list.
Nutritional Policy
Older versions than Alpha 22 have this section in the Regime Tab.
Meal Quantity
That affects the amount of food per prisoner.
Meal Variety
That affects the number of used ingredients .
