Overview
Lights Out is a routine present in all prisons. It typically begins at night, though some prisons have irregular schedules. During this period, all cell doors will be locked with a yellow key, and are opened at the end of Lights Out. If you are not in your cell by 1 minute (1 in-game hour) after the start of Lights Out and you are caught outside your cell, you will be sent to solitary and it will become morning. Wearing a guard outfit will not protect you from being sent to solitary if caught outside your cell after a minute, however a Bed Dummy can, if placed in your bed. Do remember to wear a Guard Outfit if going out at night, otherwise the guards will send you to solitary upon seeing you.
Putting a Bed Dummy and wearing a Guard Outfit will prevent you from getting sent to Solitary.
(If you dont have a Guard Outfit you will be instantly sent to Solitary even if you have a Bed Dummy on your bed)
