  • Advanced Searchlights - This technological marvel tracks misbehaving inmates automatically. Equipped with a CCTV camera, a dramatic cone of light, and an incorporated siren, nothing, and no one will go unnoticed.

  • Video Booths - These new devices offer your prisoners the connection to their loved ones that they need without the risks of physical meetings.

    • Stun Batons - Equipping your prison with better tech is one thing, but equipping your staff is even better. With Stun Batons, your standard guards and any riot guards that are called will be better able to handle any confrontations that do happen.
    • Robot guard Dogs - These good lil bots "Byte" & "Subwoofer" are more than happy to help in securing your prison. They may be not have the best battery life when compared to their fur-covered brethren but they make up for it with their improved detection skills.

  • Alexis Lin - When looking to the future of your prison security needs, no person is better equipped for the job of managing your prison. Alexis is highly trained in the art of prisoner suppression and misconduct management.
  • Visuals - Function is important but so is the aesthetic, and I will fall on this perfectly symmetrical hill if I must.
    • Uniforms - The second uniform pack has arrived, with this pack both your prisoners and staff will gain a new futuristic style to complement the other new additions.
    • Flooring - Every angle besides a right angle isn't necessarily a wrong angle. Embrace the future that are Triangular and Hexagonal flooring tiles.
