Fun and goofy!

A fun and goofy managerial game :) Money is earned by rehabilitating the prisoners, granting parole and completing grants. You can build and design the layout of the prison and will unlock new buildings and furniture as your prestige gets higher. There are also trees, plants and pathways to make the gardens look nice :) You can record your own messages to be broadcast over the prison P. A. System if you want :) The graphics of the game are really nice and friendly-looking and the music and sound effects are lovely. I've spent several days happily playing :) Rooms can be resized, moved and copied, so you don't have to stress over getting the perfect placement of everything at the start. Holding shift while placing a piece of furniture will let you place as many as you want without having to click it in the menu each time, and pressing Esc when the game asks you to connect the room you just build to the energy network will let you freely place the starting point of the cable instead of having to start from the middle of the room which will cost more money. The prisoners have a happiness level and if you let them become too unhappy they are more likely to start fights and try to escape. You can raise their happiness by adding a window, toilet, sink, radio, wardrobe, heater and fan to their cells, and build a gym early because when they are rehabilitated they enjoy working out. You can also build entertainment rooms and visitor center to help keep them happy. Divan therapy is a basic therapy room. It will work for all kinds of problems, but it will rehabilitate them slowly and there will be a higher chance of them re-offending. You can build different kinds of therapy rooms later that will help with specific problems, sending the prisoners to those rooms will rehabilitate them faster and they will have a lower chance of re-offending in the future. You might want to hold off on building all of them at first and spread it out a bit to conserve money though.

Would have been 5 without the bugs

First play attempt made it to 6 prisoners and could not place the next 2 into any of the many available cells. Tried for a while to fix...still no go Second play attempt I am able to place prisoners into open cells Worried about spending time on this just to get stuck in another glitch. Store page says been out since 2021 :/

So good but could be so much better

I'm kinda spoiled by other games like this. So I had higher expectations. There are some bugs like building placement and removal. Inconveniences like guard paths without path finding. And missing features like research, to be able to do things manually like schedule or to be able to automate things like hospitalization. So much wasted potential but it seems there won't be updates no more? 2 Year old posts on different websites asking for fixes and features unheard. This is so sad. It could be soo good but it is so clunky, buggy and too simple. Sigh...

SJWs suck

Do I own the game? No. Have I played the game? No. Neither have the other two SJW idiots though who gave the game only 1 star for BS reasons. Seriously, why are these "reviews" allowed in the first place?

Dreadful idea for a video game!

Just a reprehensible, truly idiotic idea for a video game. In a world of for-profit prisons where minorities are unfairly targeted by a corrupt judicial system, here's a game that allows you to run one of these horrible institutions. Only in America can we see nothing wrong with something like this.
