About Prison Architect
Welcome Wardens! Only the world’s most ruthless Warden can contain the world’s most ruthless inmates. Design and develop your personalized penitentiary in Prison Architect. Key Features:
Customized Confinement
Allocate resources to optimize your compound, but don’t restrict the flow of the crowd lest you encounter a flood, fire, fight, or full-blown riot.
Invest and Innovate
Tap federal money with grant applications & direct your funds to combat disease, gang activity, litigation, and more!
Management and Muscle
Ensure your prison is *mostly* ethical and safe with top-notch staff including armed guards, psychologists, doctors, lawyers and snitches.
Detention by Design
Each prisoner’s criminal history requires custom treatment programs, labor schedules, and reform workshops.
Lockdown Showdown
Attempt a high-stakes escape of your own supermax prison in Escape Mode, or try Online mode to test one of 12,000 player-created prisons. Expand your empire limitlessly in Sandbox mode.
