Prisoner locations
Steve stands in front of the police station and Silas is by the tree behind the pizza shop. The other two are shady-window customers in orange jumpsuits, arriving on separate visits — not missing spawns.
All four prisoners, in one place
The photo job asks for four prisoners and the game never marks them on the map. Two are standing in town, and two arrive as customers at the shady window over time:
| Prisoner | Where to find them | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steve | In front of the police station | There from early on; photograph him where he stands |
| Silas | By the tree behind the pizza shop | Same visit, no waiting required |
| Man in an orange jumpsuit | Shady window customer | Appears over time, not on the first night |
| Woman in an orange jumpsuit | Shady window customer | A separate visit from the man |
That split is not a guess. The developer replied on the stuck-quest thread that two prisoners are out in the world and two come through the shady window, and players who finished the job — with a breakdown the developer marked as correct — describe the same four.
The rule that makes photos fail
The camera has to print the subject's name along the bottom of the shot. No name, no hand-in. This applies to every photo job in the game, prisoners included, so check the frame before you walk away.
The other rule is identity: the same person twice does not count. If you photograph one jumpsuit customer on two different nights, the tracker still shows one prisoner.
How to work the shady window
Leave the back window open and keep playing normally. The jumpsuit customers arrive as part of the shady-window flow rather than on a timer you can watch, so the practical routine is:
- Photograph Steve and Silas first — they are the two you can finish in one trip.
- Keep the window open and check each customer before serving them.
- When a jumpsuit appears, photograph them and confirm the name printed.
- Wait for the other jumpsuit on a later visit.
Do not spend a week walking the map looking for all four. Two of them are never out there.
Hand in and troubleshooting
Hand the photos to the cop by the station. If the tracker has sat on the same number for many in-game days and only one jumpsuit keeps appearing, that matches reports from July — the developer said the mission was not bugged, and one player cleared it by waiting the window out.
The 1.02 quest reset covers washing-machine jobs, incinerator jobs and item quests such as Eleanor's chest. It does not list the prisoner photo job, so a reset is not the fix here.
FAQ
Do I need to finish the story first? No — the town pair can be photographed as soon as you own the camera.
Where do I buy the camera? The pizza-shop computer, misc section, before you leave the shop.
Why did my photo not count? Almost always a missing name on the print. Re-shoot with the subject framed properly.
One jumpsuit never shows up? Keep the window open and keep playing; the visits are not stacked back to back.
