Description
Create your own inmate and attempt to survive in a prison where every sentence is a "death" sentence! Rub shoulders with up to 100 fellow inmates in a sprawling facility of 12 unique areas, each filled with fully interactive furniture and props. Plus a life beyond the gates populated by real civilians, with wardens enforcing dozens of different laws to keep you as far away from it as possible.
Each day, you will find your health and mental state slipping away. Both can be restored by sleeping - which is also a good way to pass time. You won't always be permitted to sleep, though, so consuming food and drink bridges the gap. These, along with many other activities such as reading or watching TV, can also help to improve your mental state. If you "lose your mind" you will temporarily lose control of your character - and will almost certainly get into trouble!
Your character also has a set of attributes that you are challenged to improve:
- STRENGTH indicates how much damage you can inflict or absorb. You can improve it by fighting or lifting weights.
- AGILITY determines how fast you move. You can improve it by jogging in the yard or scoring baskets.
- INTELLECT reflects your knowledge - including fighting skills such as counters. You can improve it by reading books.
- REPUTATION is how much other prisoners respect you. It can be improved by accomplishing tasks or intimidating others.
There are also opportunities to earn money - whether you work for it with a broom, trade items at a profit, or run with a gang. Having money increases your opportunities to grease the wheels and make your life inside easier.
You may find that you need to go to the toilet from time to time, in which case you must race to the bathroom! Alternatively, you could find a toilet to sit on or grab some toilet paper to spare your blushes. Failing to do so will damage your reputation and mental state.
I regret that there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so I hope you enjoy figuring some things out for yourself!
Upgrade to "VIP" to enjoy the full experience without ads - plus access to the editor that allows you to customize your character and every other.

T = Taunt (interact with handheld props)
OTHER CONTROLS

- Touch the clock to pause the game and bring up options to exit.
- Touch any speech bubble to speed through conversations.
PERFORMANCE
- If you find your device struggles to display lots of characters, considering keeping the "Population" option low.

Gaming Experience 5/10
I’ve played this game since High School so about on and off about 8 Years, not a lot updates. The game is fun but not all the way put together. Editor used to be free It’s not fair how the captions stops you from interacting the but AI will still be able to steal from you or get up to fight you. When the captions show up on the screen; everything should either freeze or you should still be able to move. There should be a start/pause button to change the controls and see the manual of the controls There should be access to a map in the jail and for the city should when you escape jail / serve your sentence. It doesn’t make since to only have a map for jail after escaping. When setting your fighting moves there should be instructions and you should be able to create your own settings The game should allow multiplayer There should be multiple options to reply back a sentence You should be able to talk for yourself in court
Booooooooooo
This game was so much more fun before they updated it to the point where you can’t customize your character or change the gender without paying any real dollars
…
I use to play this game when i was younger and it was really fun but i don’t remember it being this weird and unfair. I don’t get why once the intelligence goes down we lose control over the character and the game itself makes decisions and starts fight with other inmates in the game and leaving you completely powerless that’s ridiculous we should have control over the character at all times no matter what , the court cases we should be able to type a response why am i getting extra days if a cop is the one who killed someone and then the inmates randomly hit you for no reason. overall it’s a fun gun but it gets really annoying wit these perks in it , the game becomes dumb and stupid when stuff like this is inside the game. it’s an opinion
The Best Prison Game Ever
This game is really fun as your in jail interacting with a lot of things. my favorite part is being set free and becoming a warden, but there’s some things that would be cool. 1. When you are set free and you have the option to become a warden, it would be cool if you can arrest people and show what their arrested for. 2. It would also be more interesting if you can go into the stores as your set free to spend some cash. 3. I would love there to be lawyers that you can hire to argue a case while your in court.
BEST GAME
ive been playing this since i was 8/9 im 17 now and these sim games all i play nowadays can we get a 3D version for ios ??
Good
Fun game but make sure you go to the bathroom before you accept a bet for a fight lol.
Cool game, but…
I only have one issue with the game: the “VIP” access. What I dislike is the fact that all of the stuff that you have to now purchase was free at one point? I mean, 3 bucks isn’t an awful lot, but the fact that you used those features as a money grab is pretty disappointing
Dear hard time developers
This game is amazing I love the combat I love how realistic it is just please make more games like this.
I want to play the 3D one but I’m on I pad
And when I got out of jail I became a cop and went back to jail for shooting a prisoner for having a gun and went to jail for 30 days
