Prison Architect

Prison Architect is a prison management simulator. The player designs blocks, places walls and monitors the daily routine. Grants require conditions to be met, so the design of the prison depends on the task. The daily routine divides time between work, food and rest. Training programs reduce new violations. The first blocks are built according to the drawings directly in the game. Prisoners want to eat, sleep and socialize, and the lack of amenities leads to riots. Security, kitchen and workshops require staff and budget. Resentment and tightness raise the level of risk. Logistics inside the prison are more complex than they seem: the kitchen, laundry and security depend on each other. Dog handlers help search for prohibited items. Work in the kitchen and workshops takes up free hours. Confinement regimes affect freedom and security. Escapes happen due to poor planning, so the area is checked in advance. Informants give clues about impending unrest. Visits and visiting rooms add to the administration's hassle. Undermining is sought by earth tremors and rumors. The bosses require reports, so paperwork takes time. The campaign explains the basics, and the sandbox gives complete freedom. Patches governed the systems and behavior of the prisoners. Death row requires separate regime and security. Armed resistance is prepared in advance and used in a crisis. Snipers occupy towers during busy times. For those who like to build and count, this prison is suitable. Sometimes they find out about tunnels only through reports. Reports show how many of those released have reoffended. Parole depends on behavior.
