Locks mod
I highly recommend using my other mod Locks. This will allow you to enable prisoners to leave their cells.

Description
This mod force prisoners to work. To enable this feature prisoners must have "Force to work" option checked ("Prisoner" tab). Prison labor needs management that consist:
Motivation - prisoners need to be motivated by presence of colonists. Wardens have new job - supervising prisoners. Low motivation can lead to revolts.
Work assignment - prisoners that have option "Force to work" are added to "Work" tab.
Time restrictions - prisoners that have option "Force to work" are added to "Restrict" tab.
Prison area - prisoners in order to work need to reach target. You can check "Hold open" option on doors. Be aware, they will try to run if they see opportunity.
"Prisoners only" tools - You can mark orders and bills by tools that exclude colonist from work.

Compatibility (outdated)

• Works with mods that add custom Jobs, to enable some of them you need to go to the mod settings.
• Works with old saves.
• To disable mod from existing saves check "Disable mod" in settings and follow instructions.
• Cleaning area DOES NOT work. Author of CA declared that it will be at RimWorld 1.0.

This is moved topic, since Prison Labor is in "finished" state

[lordbok]

Love this mod so much, but I am not sure why it seems to work sometimes, then just stop working, I have had it stop maybe 2 or 3 times but normally it starts working again, However this time it seems to want to stay non functioning. I am certain it must have something to do with a mod I am using as I am using a decent number of them, I am just wondering would it be better to have it at the higher point or the lower point in the load order. Havent played Rimworld for a while and I cant remember the load order rules lol. Also since I started it, the prison work area zone never did anything. I do love this mod I have been using it I think everytime I come back for my Rimworld binge

[NRFBToyStore]

Yea, same here. Was working wonderfully and just stopped. Now my 6 prisoners just "wander" around, sometime do recreational activities but NO work. I tried setting/unsetting options. I even removed Prison Labor from save, restarted game, went in WITHOUT mod installed, played a few ticks, saved, re-loaded, went in and still they do NOTHING.

This started right after I had visitors, 3 random guests for a few days. I remember before that everyone was working fine...

EDIT : Ok, I think mod manager rearranged some orders on me... I put JOO and Fluffy Work Tab AFTER Prison Labor, bam, everything is working fine now.

[Avius]

I will do some fixing this week. I'm kinda flooded with bug reports right now.

[NRFBToyStore]

You rock!!! So far, no other issues. I did double check a few things. JOO and Fluffy were NOT the issue, as I ended up removing both from regular play as they were conflicting elsewere. STILL had Prison Labor issue when auto-sort, AND, it was Job Splitter (or Complex Jobs).  As long as those load AFTER Prison Labor, the prisoners work fine.

Only issues I'm having are... as mentioned previously in bugs, the "work and recruit" does not recruit.

Loving it!!! Between Rim of Magic playing a necromancer, I have an undead horde, just raiding factions and bringing back prisoners!

EDIT - I turned on motivation and now work/recruit works! Without motivation, the work/recruit only worked them. Thou, as motivation  has not moved over 3.4% in 4 days, i'm turning it back off cause I need my stone cut!

[EVERYNAMEISUNAVAILABLE]

Nice mod but it's broken for me every prisoner is just wandering with full motivation and everything in their room
help?

[Meester]

On his Steam page he says he isn't going to update it much anymore because its too much work [has to update it with RmWorld updates] and he hasn't played RimWorld for 2 years.

Motivation is broken. If it's on, I never found them to do much. But if you disable motivation, work and recruit don't work. You have to pick one OR the other... So, turn off motivation, do NOT install Prison Labor last, put it ABOVE any work/job related mods out there, install LOCKS and make sure you UNLOCK their doors... I have my prisons feed into a rec room which connects to a workshop and stockpile, unlock all those and they get to work. If I don't want them to leave their room, i put a crafting bench IN their room and just have other haul materials to a little 2 cell stockpile.

On his Steam page he says he isn't going to update it much anymore because its too much work [has to update it with RmWorld updates] and he hasn't played RimWorld for 2 years.

Correct...but I feel 80% of the mods out there are being updated by new people, so if we keep up talk about it, maybe someone new will take it over.

[Tocato]

All of my colonists have he need motivation. I thought only prisoners are supposed to have that?

Also idk if related but my colonist broke, I imprisoned and cryptoslept em. A few quandrums later open it and now i can't release them so they can rejoin I have to recruit again?

[Tocato]

So actually the 'release' option from prisoners is gone. Additionally, after recruiting a prisoner they kept restraints on until I devmoded it out. I an send you the log or is someone else caretaking?

Also where should this mod be in the list? Top above locks?

Release is back moved it higher priority. Motivation gone from my colonists too nice

[Kori]

Hello Avius,
it is great to see that prisoners are able to contruct buildings now!
However I noticed that they cannot deliver the required building materials themselves, so they can only construct them when all materials are already there.
They also still refuse to refill refualable buildings.

Is this expected behavior, or am I having a mod conflict?
