    I finished the intro without a problem, but when I created my own prison I didn't have enough money for electricity and water. (I wasn't aware of getting grants from the government.) I built the holding cell, office, kitchen and canteen. But when those prisoners came they didn't have any water for the toilet.

    Needless to say they escaped rather promptly afterwards.

    I look forward to digging in this game more and finding out all the little nuances.
    Ha yeah I didn't learn about government grants until my 4th time building a prison. One playthrough I had, I escorted the first eight prisoners to the canteen and they all promptly ran off. Super fun game though and can't wait to play more of it

      Just bought this and I have no idea what I'm doing. I managed to get stuff built, but once the prisoners showed up, I had no idea what to do. Time to go watch some tutorial videos I suppose.

        A little hint for those who are having trouble, build most of it into one building, not spread throughout. It helps keep it organized and easier to track. I finally got a working prison that way.

          Thanks. Currently watching a tutorial on YT, and things are already making more sense from a building perspective. Although he's doing multiple buildings.


          One thing I did notice is it seemed like my workers weren't working. At one point, I ended up with 3 or 4 just walking around the area doing nothing. Am I doing something wrong like not giving them enough work, or do you have to keep them on the job somehow?

            So I built my building structing and walls in such a way last night that my workers couldn't connect the water and electricity. I was trying to create cells for my prisoners and as I was trying to knock down the walls to get the pipes installed, a riot broke out and wiped away out my guards and half my prisoner population and they escaped through the open whole in the wall. Epic fail in planning.

              When does the retail version of this game come out? I work as a correctional officer, so I'm curious to see if insider knowledge of how a prison works will help me in this game...it looks pretty cool!

                    Also, for anyone with an X1 you can download a trial of it to play now.

                    Looks pretty fun and really different.

                      I don't see myself purchasing since I own it on PC all ready, but this is a really fun game.. I'm glad it's coming to consoles.
