How to interpret the Reform Programs tab in Prison Architect?
In Prison Architect, the user can start/stop reform programs via a tab -- see image for details:
I understand that each program has a certain capacity, which is shown by the light gray squares. Occupied spots are shown in black. The session times and "ACTIVE" indicators are clear enough.
Beyond these things, how can I read this tab? In particular:
- What do the different colored boxes (green, yellow, black) indicate? Prisoner type, concentration, or success estimate?
- Does the bigger box indicate the session leader (teacher, psychologist, foreman, doctor, etc.)?
- What do the red lines mean? Why are some longer than others?
- What does the "Reschedule All Programs" button do?
