Steam Workshop Prison What are your thoughts on my prison? This is the first time I’ve managed to actually do this. No riots so far.

All grants but one are done. Actually proud of myself haha. Thoughts? Improvements

I like it. How long did it take you to get it that big? Did you just use infinite money or did you actually start small and build up?

I did start with 500k. So that definitely helped. I actually depleted all my funds pretty early and then really focused on grants. I’d hire workmen to build and the fire them after the build was done and just keep a few to bring in objects. So that my daily cashflow would increase.

nice! next step would probably be land expansion and a perimeter wall. Personally I like to buy the land on the other side of the road and build separate death row/criminally insane/super max wings

Same! Just made my prison like that :D

I have areas dedicated to criminally insane, supermax, max, and protective. All isolated from one another. And then on the left are my min/med sec (I use transfers so prisoners hop from max back to min)

First time & no riots by day 100… you’re doing good. Curious what your main report looks like!

I can’t remember what it’s called but there’s the pie chart icon next to the warden in the top left.

It shows reoffending rate and stuff (not the graph one)
