Build your prison freely and make prisoners work for you with maximum efficiency by providing all kinds of prison facilities. In 1984, Crist City passed the law about the private prison. According to the law, the government should “sell” the prison to the company which offers the highest price. At the end of 1994, you became a warden of The Pompeii Prison which is located in Black Cloud district. As a warden of a private prison, your responsibilities include making plans about the whole prison and solving inmates’ all kinds of problems such as power supply, waste disposal and prisoners’ need for food, water and accommodation. As a matter of course, the prisoners are concerned about these problems. If the warden doesn’t provide leisure facilities, some prisoners may not focus on their work or even cause terrible acts which lead to riots, jailbreaks or suicides. Build different kinds of workshops to keep your prisoners working hard and earning money from the market. You can produce nearly 100 different goods from workshops which include drugs, Gatlin or even RPG. There are six main workshops (clothing, furniture, electric equipment, handcrafts, chemicals and firearms). You can sell those goods at the market and of course clothes and weapons are available for use. Find the specially skilled prisoners from the government and police database, and make those people work in your prison. These professional criminals such as thieves, robbers, hackers, killers, bombers and fighters can undertake some “special missions” for you. Those special tasks include breaking into a bank vault, robbing a jewellery store, kidnapping and blackmailing some wealthy merchants. Tailors, carpenters, technicians, chemistry professors and artists can work in different workshops according to their specialty and you can have them make valuable goods from raw materials. Lawyers, bookkeepers, actors, former police officers, singers, chefs and other “talents” can work in your prison as advisers. They can have negative influences on your prison. Work as the warden to unlock different projects. Time your selling at the right time at the market. Make more money to expand your prison empire and use money to influence politicians and gangs in the city. The warden can increase his skill points by developing daily work. These points can be used to unlock a new project which could be useful to your prison and allows you to make more money. Prices of goods and materials will change every day. As a warden, you need to find the best moment to buy the materials with the lowest price and sell the goods with most profit. There are also many gangs and criminal organisations in Crist City that will come to you to seek cooperation, trade and even help. When you make friends with some gangs, they may sell you some rare materials or even help you at important time. Obviously, there will be street gunfights between the gangs and some gangs may be eliminated by the others. It requires of your making balance between various gangs to avoid one gang’s domination of the city’s streets. If there is only one gang in the city, it may have a negative impact on your prison. You live in the Crist City so try to have a look at every store on the street. You can buy magazines which can increase your skill points and condoms at the grocery or convenience store, but you still need to be careful as there are still venereal diseases and AIDS exist in the game. You can change your hairstyle in the barbershop. You can eat different kinds of food such as Peking roast duck, cheeseburger, spaghetti, borscht, Japanese sushi and even Chinese snacks at various restaurants in the Crist City. You can order a glass of Bourbon in a nightclub or have a bottle of wine. You can stay at hotels which could increase your stamina and improve your physical condition. Drink a cup of coffee, listen to the Prelude 1007 from Bach’s Cello Suite, enjoy the peace of the life. Museums, theatres and aquariums require tickets. These places can light up your mood. Of course, benches in the park are free. You can also have some fun at the nightclub with dancers and enjoy special services in the massage parlours, and even do illegal things in the foot spa centre.

Press reviews: “这是一款监狱和犯罪题材的模拟经营游戏，玩家扮演的典狱长不仅要保障监狱和谐运转，改善环境满足犯人的各种需求，还需要建立自己的地下黑帮，并将势力延展到监狱之外的城市中。游戏还包含一些角色扮演的元素，玩家可以走上街头，进入各种商店交易互动，为自己置办行头购买车辆，甚至是去做大保健，同时还要注意自己的健康状况。这些经营外的细节延展，使得游戏的玩法十分丰富。” 8.0 – 向日葵游戏评测组
