What equipment do I need for the Alcoholism Program

prison-architect

I want to start the alcoholism program for my prisoners, but as you can see in the screenshot below it is flashing "NO EQUIPMENT". However, as far as I can tell I have everything I need. I have a psychiatrist, a common room and lots of chairs. What else do I need? (If the image is too small open it in a new tab, the full resolution is 1920×1080).

The feedback for programs that encounter problems isn't very helpful. It can be any number of problems:

  • Psychologist can't reach the room (although this should come up as "NO TEACHER")
  • The room isn't zoned for use by prisoners, or can't be reached because of other zone restrictions
  • Not enough chairs (it may be looking for as many chairs as there are slots, I never tried it without filling the room to program capacity)
  • There's not enough "Work" regime to properly fit the program into that portion of the daily schedule
  • It's just plain bugging out due to not seeing one or all of the above and needs to reevaluate what you have (opening up the "reschedule" box and manually picking out a timeslot may help)

If it still doesn't work, it may help to review or submit a bug report on the developer's site.
