There is one practical problem I run into pretty quickly with this mod...
Since your prisoners have to be able to reach any work-areas without opening doors this means that they have to eat, sleep and live all in the same "area". What I mean is - if you are on an ice-sheet or desert biome then it becomes pretty hard for you to use those prisoners in anything involving the outdoors, or traveling through the outdoors to get to a job - because their bedrooms have to be constantly exposed to the open air.
Sometimes you can work around this but it seems a little bit artificial.
Perhaps a more proper way to do this would be to use the zoning tool to specify a "prisoner allowed" area - and then prisoners are allowed to use doors in that area only. I don't know if this will present technical difficulties though.
Perhaps a workaround could be to include a "prisoner door" in the mod which is not actually a door, but just a tile that acts as a door in terms of making rooms fill the requirements of "having a door" and insulates like a door. Just a thought. Something to tackle in later versions. I'm pretty impressed with how well this works so far actually.
