Prison Tycoon is a business simulation computer game developed by Virtual Playground and published by ValuSoft in July 2005 that puts the user in charge of a prison. Objectives are to keep the prison running, keep the staff happy, keep the prisoners in line, all while trying to make money.
Users are allowed to choose between a New England prison, a modern U.S. Southwestern-style prison, and a West Coast-style prison modelled after San Quentin.
The game was released to poor reviews as a result of dated graphics, lack of depth and replay value, and failure to add anything substantial to the tycoon format. This was a disappointment to many reviewers who had initially found the concept of a prison-building game interesting. [1]
The game was recently featured in Tycoon Collection, a collection of 3 Tycoon games.
A sequel, Prison Tycoon 2: Maximum Security, was released on September 8, 2006.
