Fun Facts: Things you may not know. Death Row is a special class of inmates in Prison Architect. They can be male or female depending on the prison you are working.
They can also be gang members. They are in prison for a large number of usually heinous crimes. They only show up one or two at a time, and can only be housed in special Death Row designated cells. They cannot be put in shared cells. Dormitories or holding cells, even if designated as Death Row, will also not house them. They are the only class of prisoner that can be killed without negative repercussions if you follow the correct protocol. You can only execute them without liability once they are under a certain clemency rating, as dictated by the state.
You will also need a designated Execution Room with a working Electrical Chair. I also suggest chairs for the witnesses of the execution. Clemency is how likely your prisoner is to be "downgraded" out of Death Row. In order to Appeal the sentence, your prisoner must go to a "Parole" room and go through a scheduled "Death Row Appeal". There are three possible outcomes when your prisoner goes in for his Death Row Appeal: 1 The appeal is rejected and clemency goes down.
Your prisoner is still a Death Row Inmate, and their clemency chance will go down by half for every time they unsuccesfully appeal. These appeals can only be done once every four days per inmate. If you have more than one Death Row inmate, another one can appeal the day after the other s go through the appeal. Your prisoner is no longer up for execution, but has still been given a guilty sentence for all their crimes.
Now they must serve all the time they have as a "normal" population inmate. Your inmate has been cleared of all charges against them, and is now free to return to society at large. You basically get the finger on this one. This limit is where the state will say "We will be liable if it comes out they were innocent, not you. To authorize an execution, click on the condemned inmate. At the bottom of the inmate's rap sheet will be a big gray button that says: Schedule Execution.
You will now have a list appear on the top left of your screen. It will guide you through the process of the execution. You must now lock down your prison so the other inmates won't cause trouble during the execution. During this time you must also do a check to see if the inmate can get to the execution room without going through any non-Death Row areas; this time is also set to see if the electric chair will draw too much juice and overload the substation. Once your prison is locked down and the all clear is given on the equipment, you can bring in the witnesses and staff detail.
The witnesses include the inmate's family if they have any , the victim's families, and a spiritual leader of the inmate's choosing. The staff detail inculdes the Chief of Security and the Warden.
The staff detail and the spiritual leader will go to the inmate's cell; the rest of the witnesses go to the execution room and wait for the condemned inmate chairs are useful here, remember?
Once your witnesses and staff detail are in place, it is time for the long final walk for the inmate to the execution room.
The Staff Detail now walks the inmate to the execution room. Very similar for dogs too. Once your inmate and Staff Detail are in place, you can now order the execution proper. The inmate is now dead, and the staff and witnesses can be dismissed. You will then be given the final paperwork about the execution. You went and executed a prisoner, but they were not under the state limit for clemency. Now it has come out that the condemned inmate would have been granted clemency.
Murphy, you've got some 'splaining to do. All Death Row Inmates in your prison will be transferred out. Plus, if another botched execution like that happens, you will be sacked and imprisoned in that same prison if failure conditions are turned on. A lot of your prisoners will also riot.
