Alone, what a classic prison. Just finished this one recently. Escaped on Day 5. It's very good with a very unique concept, however I feel like it could've been pulled off better. Once you realise that the other side of the prison is nothing more than two wall chips away (one of which you don't even need a poster for) and the fact that guards don't get mad when they see you there, the gimmick just falls apart because now you can freely do all the normal Escapists stuff. The isolation gimmick only really plays a role in the day or two. Also figuring out that Guards do not monitor the top-left area of your sector at all also makes this prison very easy, because you can do whatever you want there without having to hide your tracks. I had a tunnel hole and a few broken walls up there uncovered and the guards were none the wiser. Other than that, great prison! Awesome concept! Could've been executed better.

Although the description says that I can interact with the other inmates only through a fence, I still managed to make the connection between me and them fully. I know this wasn't fair but it would've taken a lot longer. I dug my self out from the spot next to my cell, right past the fence. Would've been more challenging to put an electric fence underground aswell. Great prison, I really enjoyed It.

Alone again...

While the escape itself is relatively straight forward and easy to execute with the right tools (cut or dig out, I dug out in 15 days), the concept and execution is beyond amazing, unique, and well executed. I would love a much more challenging sequel to this prison called Isolation, it would so amazing to see! Love this map, 9/10, highly recommend (not 10/10 because, again, the actual escapes are relatively simple).

Just wanted to say that you can chip through the wall at the bottom of the cafeteria to get into the vents and the guards won't see it. If that is intended, then it is a smart way to get into the vents and access the rest of the prison. If it is unintentional, then it makes the prison much easier and doesn't require a stepladder.

NOTE: How did everyone else escape this? I did what i said at the top, got a multi-tool and dug a small tunnel through the metal room. If anyone else had any different escapes or different ways of getting items, let me know because i would like to attempt this prison again but differently

One of the best maps I have ever played

Difficulty [8/10]:
- Preparation [9/10]
Obviously, the most difficult part of this prison is gathering resources. Since you can't access other inmates' desk via normal terms, so you gotta wait for them to walk to the interaction area (which is very time-consuming, totally not recommended) OR work your way to their side yourself. It's very fun and challenging trying to find a way to achieve that without getting caught and it feels very rewarding when you finally achieve it!

- Escape [3/10]
However, for the real escape, it's very easy and straight-forward. You only need 3 items at the night of the escape--a Cutter (Sturdy is recommended), Red Key, and Contraband Pouch (optional, but recommended for safety-measure). The escape route is also pretty straight-forward. You don't have to jump through a hoop or anything. Just cut and out, simple as that.

Here is my review of this map

Prison concept [10/10]
By far the most unique idea I've ever played. The fact that you're separated from other inmates makes the gameplay much more exciting and challenging. The idea of only having a single area where you can meet with other inmates is also brilliant.

Map design [10/10]
The layout of this prison is brilliantly designed, it's such a delight to look at. I especially love the vent system due to its complexity and connectivity.

really nice map. I escaped day 9 (but because of a glitch where the underground was empty)
The first few days are tough but once you get a couple of posters and maybe a stepladder it gets quite manageable

Issue: If you are sent to solitary, the solitary cell door does not lock like it would normally.

Looks great I'll give it a go

Where do I go for the rollcalls?
Pikathunder7 21 Jun, 2017 @ 9:56am 
issue with the purple door closing at roll call you can get trapped outside
macie wacie 25 Apr, 2017 @ 6:04pm 
I found one "problem" in this prison, I couldn't see who was being cell checked. It might be that I just got the wrong guard, since only one guard comes for roll call. But I got my cell checked and didn't even know it was happening until I got the note.

@Heisenberg,

What if there was a sequel to this level called A Blind Prison, where you have been imprisoned on your way out? A Blind Prison occurs in Arizona State Penitentary.

Day 12, I got caught due to not knowing if I got a cell search, BS I say

BUGS:
1.The shower block for other inmates is broken. Only 1-3 prisoners get to the actual shower, the rest is stuck in gym/canteen area, same with the guards. It gave me a really easy way to get into the other section of the prison and I don't feel like a hole in a shower wall with no concealment is supposed to work.
2. Sometimes when I go outside of the prison for no reason my heat skyrockets to 99% and I insta-die, despite having no contraband on me.

Also other notes:
1. Guards never enter the infirmary area, solitary and the outside region of the other inmates section.
2. The roof is kinda barebones, it's very easy to escape by turning off the generator and just booking it to the west fence with cutters.
3. You don't know if you get a cell toss.

Cool idea!
