Any plans of fixing this mod for the new update?

I wish the game had an automated way of changing prisoners to Protective custody, I guess this is that :)

Yeah Im doing it cuz I dont think is ''fair''
if someone Protected assassinate an guard, have guns, tried to escape an things like it so, for me if they want to be there they need to deserve.

Thats is why Im doing it manually but want it auto like others securitys

Prison Architect WIKIpedia: Supermax: "Prisoners of this category can be transferred into your Prison, (as of "The Slammer" Update) and used to be designated MANUALLY on an individual basis only" Protected: "Prisoners of this category cannot be transferred into your Prison, and instead must be designated manually on an individual basis." --- if no Patch has changed that behaviour, your policy will never override these two rules and so I think it will not automatically change this status.!!!! --- the only thing you could check is , if the snitch sorter is in a place where it willreach again the prisoner who has been marked by the policy as max-security and then it will turn back into protected because he still has the snitch/law enforcement tag. If thats not the case then its the gamerules as the wiki says I guess.

I think protected can only be changd manually - if the snitch sorter marks someone protevted he will stay protected until you manually change him to maxx security. same goes for supermax!

I have an question.
I put in my rules if some protected prisoner assassinate someone he go to max security but even if he do it, he didnt auto change how I fix it?

For me it still works - Although I never tried to connect it to any timer -Why would you do that? The function is that it automatically makes prisoners into "protected"(yellow) status- so simply set up a protected cell, install this thing in the reception room and watch the magic happen!

Does this mod work anymore? I can't connect it to a door timer. When I try to, the snitch sorter disappears as if it can't be connected to.

To solve the button overlap simply edit %localappdata%\Introversion\Prison Architect\mods\562914620\data\research.txt

Change X to 400
Change Y to 480
Save & exit the file.
Exit and relaunch your game, issue solved.


This will place the button above Legal but Below Maitenance.

If you don't like the placement experiment for yourself.

It would be nice if you could move the research area, cause it is overlapping with a base game research. Not too much of a problem, I can just turn off the mod, then turn it back on after the base research is done, but it is a bit of a pain.

Prisoner Information Sorting System would make a better acronym.

Still works for me, one of the best mods. It seems so obvious, as previous occupations or cooperations with law enforcement are on the records. Actually can't believe, it's not vanilla

I bet its like this:
Prisoner: Find the snitch!
*goes through the entire prison*
Prisoner:w h e r e i s h i m ?
Snitch Sorter: That boi
Prisoner: *b e a t s t h e l i v i n g c r a p o u t o f t h e s n i t c h*

Does not work since the chief doesn't need a office now

Absolutely love this mod!

Sneezer / Psych Ward compatible Prisoner Sorter is here:

Can you please update this mod

Any update? Can't play the game without this mod.

Will you be updating?

it won't reasearch it just stays on 23hrs and 59 seconds and says i need the proper paperwork how do i get the proper paperwork?

Yeah, they fixed it, so the regular Snitch Sorter works again :)
Deleted the one I made :p

That's a dead link Danny

I've fixed the Snitch Sorter mod to be compatible with the Slammer Update, it's located here: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1866241325

Please leave a comment on whether you were able to disable/enable the mod in one go, or had to disable the old one, then enable the modified one in 2 goes.

Thought you should be aware: the latest update to the game seems to have added a new catagory of prisoner and it may be causing the mod to transfer snitches to psych ward despite it not really being implemented yet. https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1865549365

works well, you first need to unlock the object in bureaucracy and then need to place the object for the mod to work.
I wish the author had posted screenshots of the bureaucracy tree and the object's sprite itself.

Not sure why, but even after adding and activating that mod and having every new prisoner stand in around 5 tiles next to it, it won't sort out snitches. Is there something I am missing, that should be obvious?

@buttmonkey Agreed.

xEmTx I totally agree with you

not compatible with 1.0? if i use this one, all the needs are not shown correctly

@possiple you have to research it. Maybe its that?

@possiple you have to enable it in the mods section of the menu for it to change anything.

I'm new to modding prison architect and I can't really figure this out. I subscribed to this and I restarted my game but I can't see any difference anywhere in my game. Can you use this in a prison you already started?

This is a great mod and I always run it, but it's having a problem with a specific prisoner. I got a Legendary prisoner who's extremely strong, extremely tough, extremely volatile, stoical, fearless, expert fighter... and an Ex Prison Guard. Being a Legendary with all those reputations, he obviously belongs in Supermax, but the Snitch Sorter automatically puts him in Protective Custody because of the Ex Prison Guard reputation.

Would you be able to change this mod to either ignore Legendaries, or even better, automatically set them to Supermax?

i just let the snitches die its fun watching the other inmates beat their snitching arses to death

So really like the idea of this, however I did the research and was able to install the Snitch Sorter. It literally has sorted about 90% of my prison population into Protective Custody.... if not 95%. Any thoughts on this??

What a wonderful name.

No research version when?
Thanks for mod btw

@Piriá you need to research the prisoner information system in bureaucracy first

This mod doesn't work. Appear for me: "BLOQ you need prisioners information system" I don't have any idea how I can do it.

I was wondering, is it at all possible for this mod to be altered so that mothers can also be automatically sorted into prot sec?

SAMBOT!!!!!!!



Thank you...

@Potato PC - try to create a prison with the "enable tools and cheats" option - maybe you could change this option for an existing prison if you edit the safegame. Use the enabled developer Tools to meddle with the rules of the game.

I'm trying to make a protective custody wing, my capacity is only at 200 (I just wanna have the scenario/challenge of managing PC prisoners), does anybody know how to increase the chance of receiving a snitch or ex-law enforcment? because I only have around 3.. Also this is a very good mod, thankyou :)

@LuckyDog

I think it's a research on the lawyer branch.

Does someone know if it works with update 14?

An invaluable addition. Is it possible for a mod to queue "remove tunnel" jobs automatically when you discover tunnels or would it slow the game too much?

i installed this but there is no research showing up or the item in the game? What am i doing wrong?

Please add a Super max sorter, which makes it so that any prisioners that are --Legendary-- will be supermax.

A little Help (ANSWERED- PIS is on the Bureaucracy page under Legal - duh) When I go to the 'Snitch Sorter Icon' under the Objects menu, it is greyed out, and pop up reads 'You require Prisoner Information System.' Color me Stupid , but what & where is the PIS?? Cheers

Never mind i founded out that instant research mod seems make this mod not to work.
Now tested witout instant research mod and it work fine
