Hello. I started a new game.
I created a single 7-bunks Holding Cell, a 12 padded cells psych ward and 12 2-beds dormitories. (36 capacity + 14 holding). I'm filled to capacity, with nobody in holding cell for now. PA-Issue-Holding-Cells-2.png
I have the Chief of Security badgering me about too many prisoners in holding cells while there's no-one in holding cell.PA-Issue-Holding-Cells.png

I have the feeling that those room types have the holding cell tag / identifier and it messes with the counter.

I also have another issue, which I think might be related:
Neighboring dormitories don't count as one big cell block, but rather multiple tiny cell blocks.

Bump, getting the same thing. This Reddit thread has others getting the same thing as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/prisonarchitect/comments/l8mgxf
Even if I remove my holding cell the message remains.

I got the same problem, here is my save I put it in .txt because impossible to send a .prison just change .txt to .prison and it should be fine

Edit: Looking more precisely the problem seem to comes from the padded cells.

Edit2: It definitely comes from the padded cells, when I remove them the message disappears
