In Escape Mode, prisons are run entirely by themselves. However, the Player may be tasked with constructing a new part of the prison, which is up to them to design, although they can follow a pre-defined plan to build the construct. In Campaign, most Chapters start the Player off with a pre-built prison, complete with a few functioning facilitates.
Other than these items, no further direction is given to the Player, besides accepting Grants. In Sandbox Mode, the Player will only start with a Garbage zone, a Delivery zone, 8 Workmen, and a truck full of supplies. The Player is not restricted and can also purchase additional land sets through the game unlocks to increase their land size. Using the facilities provided to you the only restriction is your mind.īuild a sprawling mini-retreat for minimum security prisoners with lush cells, TVs, and forests or the bare-bones legal minimum with a bed, toilet, and nothing but your own company. Your goal is to create and manage your own prison system in the way you want it. A Prison is the aim of the game and where the premise of Prison Architect is set.
