    The game takes a lot of time to play and the camara angles sucked.

    Just great I love the way black prison guards only beat up white prisoners and visa versa, deathrow, padded cells, and being able to drop bad prisoners and guards into "Hole" cells. Prisoner escapes - this game is great.

    This game wasn't as bad as you might expect: it is cute (tongue and cheek) and gives you several levels to work with. Give it a try.

    This is an old game with even worse camera tools. if it was a free on-line game it would still suck. btw: no tutorial only manual.

    Set the time to maximum, should wait a lot, and there are no prisoners, only 7 or 8 in 2-3 days (years?). They are not working, just walking around, and nothing happend. Do not buy, do not download. The camera toggle sucked, and the game crashed.

    Typical shovelware, completely lacking in documentation, numerous missing features. But I guess they sold enough units to pay for a sequel, in other words the people who bought the first one paid for them to finish making the game.

    I really feel bad about this being so... bad. Being able to create your own security force, guard towers, exercise yards, food and punishment areas. That should be a recipe for tons of fun. However, every critical ingredient lacked what it needs to be more than average.

    The basic mechanic of the game, building bigger and bigger stuff, is the same as it is in just about all the other Tycoon games; it just happens that in this case you're building things that are very disinteresting.
