About This Game

You arrive with nothing.

No name, no friends, no cigarettes.

Prison Empire is a third-person prison life and gang simulation. Every day runs on the prison's clock: headcount, meals, work shifts, yard time and lockdown. Every choice you make is watched by two audiences: the inmates who decide your name, and the guards who decide your fate.

Two reputations, one cell

Earn respect on the yard and the administration tightens its grip. Keep your record clean and the inmates stop fearing you. Every fight, deal and favour moves both scales.

A real prison economy

Cigarettes are currency. Run contraband, collect protection money, bribe the right guard on the right shift, and keep your stash hidden before the cell search comes. Level up your work station for steady income.

Build a crew

Recruit men, pay their wages and keep them loyal, or watch them desert. Send them out on jobs, raid rival turf and open businesses: a still, a fight book, phone rentals, a tattoo parlour, loan sharking and more. Every man you put on a business is a man not holding a corridor.

Four rival gangs

Each gang holds its own wing and plays by its own rules. Take a zone and you hold it only as long as you show up.

Fight your way up

Light and heavy strikes, kicks, blocks and parries. Climb the ranks of the cage, enter the yard tournament and bet on yourself. Improvised blades end fights faster, and the guards remember who carried one.

Three prisons, one empire

Transfer between Blackwall State, Greystone Women's and Cinderhall Federal. Leave a lieutenant in charge of the prison behind you, and hope he stays loyal.

More than a cell

Buy the best cell in the block from its current owner. Visit the women's wing, build relationships, and take a guarded evening out at the casino: blackjack, roulette, slots and horse racing.

Do time together

Play alone, or bring up to four friends into the same prison in online co-op.

Your way out

Serve your sentence, win an appeal, plan an escape through the tunnel, the laundry truck or a bought gate, or decide you would rather stay and run the place.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The English voice-over for story dialogue and prison PA announcements was generated with an open-source text-to-speech model (Kokoro) from scripts written for the game. Much of the game's code, dialogue text and localisation was written with AI assistance under the developer's direction. No AI generates content while you play. 3D models, textures, sound effects and music come from human-made asset libraries (CC0 sources and Mixamo).
