Warden Tycoon: Prison Manager
Simulation
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Run your own prison. Balance security, rehabilitation, staff, budgets and tough decisions. Survive state reviews, unlock new prisons and build your legacy.
Warden Tycoon is a strategic prison management simulator where every decision affects security, rehabilitation, morale, finances and your reputation with the state.
Take charge of a growing correctional facility and survive one day at a time. Hire staff, manage inmates, expand your prison and decide where every dollar should go. Keep the institution stable without losing sight of rehabilitation—or your budget.
FEATURES
• Manage prisoners with different crimes, risk levels, needs and rehabilitation progress
• Hire and develop guards, doctors, psychologists, teachers, counselors and more
• Build and maintain cell blocks, workshops, libraries, infirmaries, yards and other facilities
• Set food, maintenance, service, pay and working-condition policies
• Issue daily Warden Orders to respond to changing conditions
• Handle branching events including riots, contraband, audits, gangs, media pressure and emergencies
• Balance security, cleanliness, staff morale, prisoner morale, capacity and cash flow
• Face state reviews that score your performance and affect funding and reputation
• Choose different prison scenarios with unique starting conditions
• Earn Legacy Points, unlock permanent perks and carry progress into future terms
• Track lifetime records and achievements across your career
There is no single perfect strategy. Fill every bed and you may overwhelm your staff. Cut costs too hard and conditions can collapse. Spend heavily on rehabilitation and you may create long-term success—but only if the prison stays secure and solvent.
Can you build a prison that survives the pressure, passes inspection and leaves behind a lasting Warden Legacy?
