All prisoners are in constant work mode during designated free times. Even when you have separate work and free time slots in the regime.
That fixed it. Should really be noted somewhere as it is kind of deceiving with regime. ThanksIt seems like they added a labor management button to the logistics tab, which if you click on an then right click the room, you will see the allowed work regimes that can be changed. Its defaulted to Work/Free Time and Free Time which is causing prisoners to work during their free time. I actually like this addition cause it allows you to also deploy guards to work rooms from this menu and save up deployment slots. It really should have been told to players better though.
