Fun for a bit, but it's too simple and becomes boring. You can't customize anything, even the warden. There's not much to do, but tap and wait. Closing the game completely then coming back gives you 2x more than staying on the game, which is a lame mechanic, and all you can do to upgrade after a certain point. NPC tracks do not always work properly, like all 50 guards walking up and down a hallway or empty module at night. Or they will be invisible except a little dot indicating their happiness.

It's a good game I like playing it. It's great because you are not forced to watch a ad if you don't want to get the boost. I paid 20 buck towards the game for the ad shredder and a couple people. But what I'm not to fond of is once your prisons are fully completed you still have to play for a few days to a week for nothing just to unlock the next level. And the other thing I would like to see is a upgrade all button I don't like the 60clicks just to upgrade one cell if I so have the funds

Fun game. The AI is a little wonky. Sometimes when you start the game, you have max cooks and they only have 1 meal ready so instant riots. Same for other positions. Also the Iron Fortress level resets when the timer runs out. Fun to play once, but after that, it's the same thing and then resets to start over. No progress can be made there so you can't ever unlock the cool parts of the level. There are a ton of ads, but all the games from this developer are like this with the $10+ no ads charge.

Just wish the ads were shorter like 10-15 seconds long would make more time spent playing the game instead of watching ads. Might want to update the servers to I always have to wait for the servers or it freezes up so I have to back out of the game fully and reopen it. What would be a great idea is being able to use the cash you make from building the prison is being able to hire an account or a warden instead of having to buy it with real cash It would be an awesome game and 5 stars

Not too bad but could use some updates. I am on the final prison now, space cooler. Though I have fully upgraded every prison, you never see prisoners use the infirmary or visitation rooms so those feel completely useless to build. The special maps every few days are decently fun and a great way to unlock cards. The game really isn't pay to play. There are some advantages to paying but you genuinely don't need to. All in all, it's a decent game just wish there was a little more replay value.

This game was a lot of fun for a while, but it got incredibly frustrating when I had acquired every upgrade for the second map but hadn't had enough prisoners be reformed yet, like not even close. Moving on to the next level shouldn't force you to play many many hours beyond the point where you've upgraded everything and there's pretty much nothing left to do but let the game run.

I love this game and the animations, I love that I can upgrade just about anything. But I do have a complaint. When I go into the menu of upgrading things on cells, it glitches out and won't let me tap out of it. I can't tap on the other cells, so I have to close the game and re-open it. Another thing is that the little people clip through each other, and I just think it looks odd. Other than that, I really like this game, and I'll be playing it for a while longer.

Game is a good no brainier. However, when the "government" wants to give you money (almost every minute) it's another 30 sec ad. The ads stopped loading and I would lose out on "government" money. Seriously an ad every minute that is way overboard. To skip the ads is $10.99 to purchase the game. The game is no worth that much. Once in the game if you forget what an icon means your just out of luck. There is no guide.

I enjoy the game. I like the idea of being able to upgrade/ customize everything from the cells, kitchen, guard shack, bathrooms, etc. But I'm wondering if you ever have to repay the ie. Government loans that you receive by phone. Also I don't know what the point of this excess money once I have fully upgraded everything and have a full staff. What is the money for ? Maybe you could make a way to convert cash into the gold/ coins. I really enjoy the game but after about a week it's repetitive.

Fun game. On my 2nd prison, but the Iron Fortress event is quite annoying. Inmates can go in to the workshops with very low stress, then come out and riot almost every single time. Seems glitchy to me, if its not, then the fact would be it's made to happen this way, if so, then I say 0 stars, because that means it's made for you to constantly have riots, it's been 5 times all my guards were taken out. Hope as I level up to new prisons it doesn't go down this way, if so, very disappointing!

Very fun game! Great graphics! Overall game play was great. Sometimes the distance people travel are to far and they get to the workshop or cafeteria too late. When prisoners are escaping you should be able to tap on them so they can't escape. Its missing something because late game play is just turning game on for 20 seconds and duplicating money then waiting 4 hour and doing it again to afford things. Needs more you can do like buy land. We should be able to design a prison how ever we want.

I love the game however there is a few things I would change. I'd love to see a growth chart to be able to see how my prison advances with each add on. Also I don't like how everytime I leave the app and come back no matter how long I'm gone my prisoners are max stressed out and riot. Expecially with the iron fortress event going on. The state takes my prisoners but I havnt done anything to have them so stressed. Having this changed would definitely be an upgrade to the game.

It's a all around a really good tycoon game. I'm addicted!!! Edit: well it started out great I don't mind the idle. All though it would be nice to get like 4 hours before it quit working. And then I only get to watch 2 ads and then it completely stops and the app shuts down. Which is the most annoying. I'm only on it 3-5 minutes before it's shuts down please fix or it's gone.

Would be better if your employees worked while you were not actively playing. As far as I can tell, they completely stop working, but time progresses. Meals don't get cooked. Floors don't get cleaned. Prisoners riot and escape with no guards paying any heed. Also, the bus bringing new prisoners should arrive after your old prisoners are released, not before. The graphics are great and controls are fine (it does click on stuff behind buttons occasionally), but the gameplay needs work.

I really like the game when there's something to do. The amount of reformed prisoners needed to go to next prison is pretty high too. Found myself maxing out a prison in 3 days just to wait a month of constantly opening and closing the app to get enough prisoners to progress. Events repetitive using same layouts with different skins. I still haven't unlocked all the prisons and yet I have nothing to do but open and close the game several times a day. Good concept and game, could be better.

New Update: 8 more months has gone by and still no new prisons... been a year now...2 years still waiting for a new prison, I think for a couple to a few months now. Original: Pretty simple and yet fun game. It is a little on the pricey side and makes you get on the game a little too often to keep it going. Also, there is an issue with the cooks just not going to serve the food. Overall, i am enjoying it. Was crushing the latest event, then a bug stopped letting me play.

Once you max everything is there another prison? They have coming soon stuff but I'm assuming that has been there for ever. It's decent fun when there is stuff to do, but once everything is built and upgraded and without events, it gets rather boring. To build cells in the max area is rather ridiculous. Cells will cost more to build than the buildings they are in...or any buildings for that matter. It's fine if there is nothing to do, log on, start to build something, and then log off.

ENOUGH WITH THE ADS There's not even the usual buy no ads button for $.99 or something. Just constant ads every 30 seconds. The first prison doesn't but the moment you unlock the second prison the ads become unbearable. Other than that it's a pretty fun game, seriously, it's a good game and I really enjoy it. Probably a four star game but the amount of ads brings it to one star. Honestly I'd probably pay the dollar for no ads but they don't have that option.

I like the game but we've been using the same old prisons for a long time now. We need a new prison to upgrade during the week. We need a new prison released every so often. it's been 7 months since my last review & still no new map. I haven't played the game for months. I saw an update yesterday & was hopeful for a new prison to play in.

Forced ads are annoying. You're enticed to watch ads to obtain money faster, which I'm fine with watching a 30 second ad to get something in return. Only problem is it still forces ads even if you click to voluntarily watch other ads for in game money. Removed the game from my phone for this reason, if they got rid of the forced ads and just allowed the players to choose to watch the ads for free perks, this game would be a fun time passer. I'll stick with other idle games that aren't as greedy.
