When I was done I went to collect him from his cell but found his stay in solitary had expired because I'd left the clock running while planning my new facility. I threw the target in solitary for an extended stay so no one could murder him while I set about planning a new protective custody wing, a tiny prison within my prison. This inmate was important to me: I was chasing educational grant money and he was one of the very few students qualified to pass my general education class. Another time, an informant told me one inmate, a former prison guard, had been targeted for a hit. After a virus swept through the population I had to check each prisoner for infection (their faces turn green) and lock the sickies in their cells, one by one, to avoid spreading the disease further. Prison Architect works well on a macro scale-managing your budget, staff, grants, utilities, and infrastructure, but at times requires a laser-like focus on specific issues and even on individual inmates. It can be overwhelming at times, as your to-do list grows and grows-and as prisoners start walking out with tools under their jumpsuits-but it's also satisfying when all the pieces fall into place.

Building a workshop takes only a moment, but once it's in place you'll need to train inmates to work there, which requires an instructor, scheduled classes, the assignment of graduates (with work schedules), and an area to deliver license plates to for exporting and sale. Kitchens and canteens can be designated to serve specific cellblocks, security cameras need to be connected to consoles in a command center, and guards need to be hired and assigned to monitor them. The complexity sets in when you want to use these rooms. Then, watch as your tiny workmen swarm around constructing it. Designate the type of room it is and plop in the required equipment: cells just need a bed and toilet, offices need desks, chairs and file cabinets, and so on. Hopefully everyone will be so busy going to class there will be no time to murder anyone.Д«uilding the prison of your dreams (or an inmate's nightmares) is accomplished in the same fashion as many other sims: drag an outline of a foundation, add doors, and pull electrical cables and water pipes into place. No one wants to be there! Lesson learned, too late. Maybe they don't want to start fires or lay into a guard with a power drill, but that doesn't mean they actually want to be there. There simply is no happy state for your residents. Prison Architect isn't like other management sims where you deal with a restless and fickle population.

How could they do this to me? That's when the embarrassment hit, because something important and incredibly obvious simply hadn't dawned on me until that very moment: meeting an inmate's needs isn't the same thing as making them happy. I'd been bending over backwards to meet their needs, to run a clean, efficient, and extraordinarily humane prison. Five prisoners in adjoining cells had smuggled in tools and burrowed to freedom right under my nose (and right under the prison's exterior wall). Then I received a notification that an escape tunnel had been found. As a result of this close attention I'd experienced no riots, no fist-fights, no unpleasantness of any kind. If they complained about hygiene, a lack of recreation options, or that they missed their families, I'd stop everything and construct new facilities or activate new prisoner programs to accommodate them. If they complained about being hungry, I'd expand the kitchen, serve higher quality meals, and allow more time on their schedules for chow. Most of all, I'd been doing everything I could to meet the needs of my ever-growing population of inmates.

I'd been playing Introversion Software's prison construction and management simulator the same way I play any other sim, by slowly expanding my network of buildings-cells, rec rooms, storage closets, administrative offices-while keeping an eye on my finances, staff, and current goals.
