Is there anyway to give them clothing? Several of my prisoners are getting hypothermia since I don't have the resources to heat my base up.

TLHeart

create a small stock pile in the prison, for apparel only, stock it and the prisoners will help themselves to the clothing... be aware, once the clothing is in the prison, your colonists can not touch it.

Well, thats not quite true, clothing can still be hauled out of prison zones.
You can use the method Heart mentioned or just drop stuff a colonist is wearing, just draft him and go the prison zone and then drop it via the gear menu.
Notice that prisoners in general will only wear stuff covering the chest and legs and ignore anything else, even when they re freezing. If the chest item doesnt provide enough insulation you need to strip them first and haul that piece of clothing out of the zone, else they might wear it again and not that warm parka you dropped for them  ;)

Great, that solves the problems with recruits joining with missing limbs :)

Thanks alot!

You might want to double wall and door your prison (if you can).  It helps reduce heat/cold loss.

Woah didn't even think about zoning in prisons, nice.

Fixed that for you!

make a fire in prison room


I don't think attempting both heat stroke and hypothermia at the same time would be good for their health.

Don't underestimate the usefulness of the "Emergency camp-fire" approach. Especially as it tells you how long it'll run for.

Yeah, I put a campfire in the prisoner room during a cold snap of -30C, it put the room at pleasant 25C. Unfortunately the prisoners then died by harvested heart, but until then they were quite comfy in there.

Ah, campfire. I thought he meant just a flat out fire, which would likely consume everyone and burn down the base.

No, ZOMBIE, that was MY suggestion.
