How to stop morning Riots

prison-architect

Every morning in my prison, when all of the Prisoners wake up for Shower time, as soon as they get to the Showers they all start fighting (in every Shower). I'm not sure exactly why, because the only need that is high is Hygiene, which they should be dealing with in the Shower. I have one Gang with 80+ members, and so almost every fight includes one. This breaks out more fighting, and chaos ensues.

For a while I had EnableMisconduct turned off, but decided to see what would happen when I turned it back on. The prison is shared to the Workshop now, so I can't change the save file.

How can I stop these morning Riots?

If it's truly hygiene that is causing them to riot (ie that is their only need), perhaps have the last couple hours of your sleep regime changed to "free time", so they can sleep if they want to sleep, or they can get an early start on getting their criminal bodies clean and shiny as not to interfere with all of the gang-related activities.

I had a major problem with shower riots in the morning as well, but aside from putting a shower in every cell (I'm not Warden Claus over here) I found that letting them out of their cells a bit earlier than necessary resolved much of that issue.
