1. Prisoners and staff cannot be transferred anymore with right click

2. Cooks not cooking and not making enough food

3. Janitors not cleaning like they used to, even when mutator for reduce dirt build up is on

4. Animations frozen when eating food for prisoners and staff at canteens

5. Increase of visitations, even in after hours

6. Sudden increase of walking speed for visitors or staff

I'm playing with no Mods, vanilla game and current updates installed

3. Cooks not cooking/Not making enough food. I have more than enough cookers, cooks, fridges and sinks. I used the calculator. The cooks just aren't cooking. Prisoners are dying of starvation.

I can confirm having encountered issues 1,3,4,5,6 and 7 in my prison too. Right now, there is a hacky way to make parole programs work, if that is important to you. I'm guessing that you have just one session of parole programs take place before it stops working. If that is the case, after your parole programs run successfully for the first day, go to the 'Programs' tab and click the 'Start/Stop' button next to the Parole program heading. This should restart the program again, just for the next day though. So you need to repeat this after each day's program. If you can't get even a single day of parole programs to begin with, try removing and rescheduling the program a couple of times, that should let you begin the program at least.

I have all of these problem also n my prison, it worked fine before the patch. I don't want a dirty prison filled will starving prisoners, so I have stopped playing until it is fixed, I certainly will not be getting the new DLC for an unplayable game

I just started a new prison after the free update that came out along with Island Bound and my cooks are not cooking either! My prisoners are starving. I didn't get the new DLC, just the free update :(
