Behind Bars With Prison Architect (MasonicGamer.com)

MasonicGamer.com: Prison Architect is the latest project from Introversion Software, makers of such memorable titles as Darwinia and DEFCON. While Darwinia are DEFCON were both different takes on the RTS genre, Prison Architect is far closer to the ‘Theme’ simulation games made by Bullfrog Productions in the 90s.

Like Theme Park and Theme Hospital, it gives you the job of running a large corporation and building a successful and profitable business from scratch. However, instead of having to build and run a park or hospital, Prison Architect tasks you with overseeing a fully functioning prison, complete with buildings, utilities, staff and prisoners.

Yes making a game about one of the most ruthless money making industries in America. Most people don't know that prisons make money, more money than some of the biggest corporations in America.

Who knew putting people in jail could be so profitable? What a lovely system we have, nothing like playing a game that reminds you of how corrupt and disturbing this world is that we live in.

Weee!

The gradual privatization of the prison system doesn't make it any easier to refute what you say.
