Prison Tycoon

About

Prison Tycoon casts you as the boss of a maximum security facility. Build cells, assign guards, and manage resources while keeping riots and escapes in check. Each decision affects inmate behavior and facility stability. Upgrade infrastructure to handle overcrowding or risk chaos. Balance budgets without cutting corners on safety. The game leans into the grind of logistics over flashy action. Players note its dated visuals but praise the depth of management systems. A 2005 release that still runs on modern PCs. The challenge lies in juggling competing priorities, healthcare, security, and prisoner morale. Community forums show ongoing interest in mods and strategy guides. Not for those looking for a relaxing sim.
