The game offers a fun and addictive prison management experience that can be enjoyable and relaxing for passing time.
The game has a simple and approachable gameplay style suitable for children and those looking for casual fun.
Some users appreciate the progression system, multiple prisons, and the entertaining animations and characters.

Excessive and intrusive ads drastically hinder gameplay, with ads appearing every 30 seconds to 2 minutes, making the game nearly unplayable without paying to remove ads.
The game suffers from numerous bugs and glitches including getting stuck in certain areas, frozen characters, lagging especially on higher levels, and issues unlocking new prisons beyond the fifth level.
Technical issues such as game crashes, freezing, inability to upgrade or pick up prisoners, and the game's interruptions of background audio (e.g., music, podcasts) significantly reduce enjoyment.

monetization
321 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The monetization of this game is heavily criticized due to the overwhelming frequency and intrusiveness of ads, often interrupting gameplay every 1-2 minutes with forced, unskippable videos. Even paying to remove ads reportedly fails to fully eliminate them, leading to frustration, broken gameplay, and poor user experience. Many players find the excessive ads make the game nearly unplayable despite its otherwise enjoyable elements.
- “I love this game no ads”
- “I bought no ads and now instead of ads the game keeps freezing and kicking me out.”
- “Please fix that or at least give us the option to claim the boosters without watching the ad if we bought the no ads package for $6.99. If this gets fixed, I'll change to 5 stars.”
- “Ads come up literally every 60 seconds, and they use dodgy techniques where they ask if you want to watch an ad but then show you a longer unskippable one, with no option to decline, resulting in 25% of the game being ads.”
- “The game itself is fun, but the sheer amount of forced ads makes it almost unplayable.”
- “Constant 30-second forced ads are absolutely unacceptable.”

The game suffers from frequent and severe stability issues, including glitches that cause characters to get stuck, freezing at certain levels, and crashes after ads or during key events. These bugs significantly hinder progression, especially beyond early stages, making the gameplay frustrating and sometimes unplayable. Many users urge for urgent updates to fix these persistent problems.
- “Great for killing boredom; however, once you reach prison 5, the game glitches and lags after opening most rooms. I have uninstalled and redownloaded and still have the same problem. Also, there seems to be no prison after that I discovered while playing through the lagging glitches.”
- “The #2 bug is in wasteland; the whole thing freezes really badly to where anything I do doesn't register. Please fix these bugs or I will have to delete!”
- “3rd prison is super buggy; it says you unlock things that never appear (employees, upgrades, etc.). No way to get to 4th level despite it showing one.”
