• Keep ‘em busy - put your prisoners to work around the prison cleaning, cooking and maintaining your prison.

• Anticipate escape attempts by hiring the baddest guards and staff around to manage the hardened criminals.

• From fires and gang wars to disease and rat infestations – it’s up to you to control the public enemies and maintain a balanced prison.

• Never underestimate the limitations of Alcatraz – from staff to prisoners you need to plan for everything!

• Expand your walls that house the most dangerous and diabolical criminals on earth – all for the bottom line.

• From guards to the administration– it’s up to you to hire and manage staff that can handle the thousands of harden convicts, criminals and escape artists.
