A great game if you love sandbox simulation games. Most of the DLC is a cashgrab though and not worth it, pretty typical for Paradox.
Spectacular game, I’ve played this for hours and hours and it never gets old. By adding mods it only enhances the game further. If you enjoy games with a highly configurable system for prisoners, systems and more then this is the game for you. Would 100% recommend.

非常好玩，爱！
10/10 would build gulag 2.0
I dislike the American (US) prison industry. But damn is it fun to build prisons.
When I first bought this game on steam it was working in the morning when I played this game. I'm on a mac retina 2019 and I am on macos 11+. For some odd reason when I came back from home in the afternoon and tried to launch the game, it completely cancels the launch. It doesn't show any pop up of the game. Though, when I press play, my profile turns green which means I'm 'playing' but then after a few seconds goes back to blue. I do really recommend this game but can someone help?
