Shower Prison Architect Guide

The shower is a room which lets the prisoners to take care of their hygiene, therefore satisfying one of their basic needs. The only object required in this room is a shower head to which you of course need to lead water. Optionally you can also place a Drain which will let you get rid of the dirty water from the floor quickly. Keep in mind that the water and soap-suds disappear at the same rate regardless of the amount of drains, so investing in additional ones doesn't have much sense.

The shower should be considerably big - sooner or later, all prisoners will have to use it, so there has to be room for them. The shower frequency depends on the regime - if you set a specific shower time, all prisoners will wash at the same time (which will only increase the problem of overpopulation in this room). It's a good idea to set free time during the shower time so that only the dirtiest prisoners go to take a shower and the rest will wait for a better moment. Such a solution greatly limits the risk of brawls breaking out and lets you satisfy the needs of prisoner throughout the day (screen above).
