Description[]
The Psych Ward DLC allows players to open their lockups to a new class of inmates: the Criminally Insane. Handle their needs and behaviours without pushing the population to breaking point. Neglecting your Prisoners’ needs and punishing them too frequently risks permanently damaging their health.

Criminally Insane[]
Criminally insane inmates are unpredictable, require special care, and have their own Reputation traits for you to consider when building your prison.
- These inmates can either be imported into the prison or created when a prisoner's needs are not satisfied.
- The insane prisoners require padded cells and holding cells.
- These prisoners wear white suits and 'Insane' can be seen as one of their traits.
- The prisoners will be easily angered when their needs aren't met.
