How do you move prisoners?
When capturing prisoners, they appear to be randomly assigned prisoner beds. However, after I have perused their stats, I usually want to manually assign them more appropriate rooms in order to provide medical care and/or recruit them.
For normal beds (for the colonists), there is the "set owner" option. How do I do this for prisoners?
Best Answer
Here is a trick for moving prisoners to specific beds.
- Mark all non-occupied prisoner beds for colonists, except the one you want to move them into.
- Mark the prisoner's current bed as for colonists.
- A warden should come move the prisoner to their new bed shortly.
- For a room with more than one prisoner, manually order a warden to take the prisoner to bed. Then you can turn the room back into a prison cell for the remaining prisoner(s).
- A constructor can move the prisoner's bed, and then a warden will come to move them.

Answer 2
If they are still injured, I haven't found a way to move them, but once they are healthy, you can kick them out of their current bed by marking it for Medical, and then a colonist will come along and escort them to a different (still random) bed.
By marking all of the Unoccupied beds as Medical except for one, you can force the prisoner into that particular bed.
