Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Latest in each market: best UK #79, worst BR #94 · 5 markets collected
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.71/day in the week to Aug 26 → 11.14/day in the week after.

Add-ons
Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; GOG, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Reviews
creamed
This game fits a common theme among tycoon/sandbox style games: it is ADDICTING! I keep coming back to it because the challenges are fun, there is an endless amount of ways you can design your prison, and there are more layers to be found the more you play the game. I would also recommend getting the DLC's because the added challenges, tools, and game modes add to the various challenges you can create, and the various prison styles you can do.

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I like the way the prison works and how it is played

教程不是很丰富
I like making contained mini prisons as well as isolated prisons. I have one mod that makes the drink machine provide food so I put one in their cells. I make very luxurious prisons instead of cramming them in like sardines.
Man,is good.
Decent game with enough content to keep me occupied for ages. Biggest problem is once you start reaching bigger prisons (300+) the game suffers from serious memory leaks that eventually slows you to a grind until you restart the game.

After buying PA from Introversion Software, Paradox introduced several bugs into the game which they did not fix before ending support. Most egregious, they changed core features, unchanged since early alpha, in the final update before abandonment. Only buy this if you intend to rollback to the 2018 version.
