Prison Architect is a construction and management simulation game for Windows where players design, build, and manage their own high-security prison. From laying out cell blocks and surveillance systems to hiring staff and setting daily routines, every aspect of prison life is under your control. The goal is to maintain order, manage finances, and prevent escapes while balancing the needs of inmates and staff.
Players must carefully plan facilities such as canteens, infirmaries, workshops, and solitary confinement cells. Security systems including guards, CCTV cameras, metal detectors, and armed response units help maintain discipline. Each prisoner has unique traits, risks, and behaviors, making management a dynamic challenge. Riot control, contraband smuggling, and reform programs add depth to the simulation.
With detailed management systems and sandbox freedom, Prison Architect offers both strategic complexity and creative control. The game combines dark humor with serious themes, delivering a deep and engaging management experience.
