    tjazz's GameLog for Prison Architect (PC)

    Thursday 3 March, 2016

    Today was my second playthrough and I managed to finish Chapter 3 from the campaign.
    The scenario begins with a riot breaking out in the prison. We are told that the CEO is missing and being the deputy CEO, we are assigned the task to get the prison under control. In order to do this we are given control of armored riot police and some paramedics. I began slowly recapturing the cells one by one, injuring and knocking out prisoners left and right. Then I get a call from one of the prisioners, who demands that we provide him means to escape the prison or he would kill the CEO, who is in his custody. I continue recapturing the prison and as I am busy trying to close in on the CEO's position, it is revealed to me that the CEO was a dirty man and he was trying to get the prisoners to stay for longer terms so that he could make more money.
    The conspiracy was deep and even the Mayor was involved in the scandal. This obviously angered me and I was contemplating wether I should let the CEO be "punished" by the prisoners or save him and give him to the law.
    But the game disappointed me as I had no control over the fate of the CEO and he ends up dead in the end anyway. But it did present an interesting side to the way prisons are run. Sometimes it may not be entirely for rehabilitating criminals.
    But I assume this is still a tutorial level and the actual game is just a free build mode, which I still haven't tried yet.

    "Sometimes it may not be entirely for rehabilitating criminals. " Many have argued that the economic incentives favor incarceration over rehabilitation. What do you think the game favors, if anything?

    I think the game favours rehabilitation.
