Lock a shut door or unlock a locked one from here. Doors standing open must be shut by hand. Walk away and the panel closes.

1. Take the keys (on the hook, or in the safe by the gatehouse desk). Ring the bell to start the day.
2. Doors: E opens or shuts. Hold E with the keys to lock or unlock. A shut door is not a locked door. Green lamp and a bolt means locked.
3. Prisoners: E takes hold, and he follows you. Walk him in, press E (or Q) to let go, walk out, shut the door, lock it.
4. Intake: the bus drops arrivals in the gatehouse with the outer gate open. Shut it. Process each one at the desk, fetch his property at the hatch, walk him through the inner gate. Never both gates open at once.
5. Counts: stand by every cell door for a moment. Clear when everyone is locked in. Chow: push the trolley to each cell door and hold E.
6. Yard hour: open the cells and they wander out to the yard on their own, through any door you have opened. When the bell warns, get them back. Runners climb the fence: pull them off.
7. Fights are a dust cloud. Stand in it and hold E. Alone in it, you may be the one knocked out. A riot means the alarm: subdue them (hold E), or soak a group with the fire hose from the wall.
8. They fight back. A fuming prisoner near you will knock you down and a held one may break free. The taser (on the rack) drops everyone in the strip in front of you, friends included. The truncheon makes you safe to stand next to.
9. Lights out is dark. Your torch is the only light. Some prisoners pick their locks at night and must be found before the morning count; a few dig out and are gone.
10. Tab holds up the block map. It is the only way to know what is happening in the rooms you are not in.
