Alright! So I played the map and it's not really hard, it's cool but if it were me I'd reorganize a bit the arrangement

NOTE: All the following review is based on the first version, the map probably has fixed some things but I still wanna give my say about everything in case it has not

I can guess that was a courtyard, but are you sure you wanna use concrete? Wouldn't it be better to have grass and have a few bushes in there too?

As inner space I'd personally use a different variety of patterns to make it feel like they're different rooms, using all wood as pattern is a bit weird

Be more constant with corridor width! There were too many corridors that had from 1 block to 4 blocks of width, imo 3 blocks is the best width for corridors

This left me wondering, why did you use shower pattern? I felt weirded out, I usually use the light blue pattern for corridors, I see that those are the ones used for corridors after all

That's too many metal detectors and cameras
When you get sent to solitary you already have nothing on you, but you wanna escape from the solitary area a metal detector is needed, but only one at the entrance! The other ones are useless
About the cameras I'd use only one for cell, but aiming at the outer wall

I felt weirded out being at the second floor seeing the below floor without roof, I personally think you should put them...

That's quite a blind spot there, guards will probably never go there making it the perfect area to hide contrabband and to dig a tunnel from, in fact that's how I did
Digging there was less time and heat consuming than trying to copy all keys

THINGS I LIKE OF THE MAP:

The visitor area is awesome, it's not functional but I like how it looks, although I really wouldn't use shower pattern...

The edges of the island are awesome! They really feel natural, maybe I should edit my HMP Irongate 2.0 island's edges too

AND THAT'S IT.
Try thinking first if you wanna do an outdoor or indoor prison, then place the functional blocks how you think they fit best
My hint is that if you wanna do an indoor prison you should place them in a way to create a rectangle, then any remaining space becomes a decoration room just to keep the shape
If you wanna do an outdoor prison you better keep some invisible shapes to make it look good, without needing decorational rooms this time
Placing decorations need some eye skill by the way, just work on what would look good to you!
This was my score by the way https://gyazo.com/e05d7432295a5f080df6fee0bf681130
