My Tips:
* Place the jail door at last while constructing cell because the workers will be stuck there until a guard comes and unlock it.

* When your Prison becomes big you would eventually build second power station. Don't join its cable to the 1st power station, If you do so it will result in Short circuit.

* Execution Chamber needs no use outside of Tutorial. So don't build it.

Are you taking hard prisoners as well? Coz Im only taking easy prisoners as of now.

Yeah.. All three; They give more grant than the easy prisoners.

Those 3x2 objects are for cells right? So that means the big structures must be offices and other rooms.
What about canteen, yard and other big area consuming structures? You gonna build them in middle?

Yup, I saw the image from reddit and got the idea to surround cells blocks and keep canteen in the middle.

Lol..Its my 4th Prison.. Learned a lot.. You should have seen my other prisons.. They were chaotic.. Prisoners escaping, beating up guards etc etc

Alpha, Beta,Gamma, you name it. .It runs, its enough.
They have released monthly alpha 29, so roughly 2 years.
