• Patch 1.0.11 - 26 January 2026

  Hello Inmates… and those planning to become inmates! We've just rolled out a small update that cleans up a little "creative chaos" around the prison. Some of you noticed that a few decorations were still hanging around like that one inmate who refuses to leave the yard after lights-out. Don't worry. We've taken care of it. What's new (and slightly ridiculous) All temporary decorations have been removed. The prison is now 87% less festive and 100% more prison‑y. We've installed a new system that automatically disables similar decorations in the future. No more surprise pumpkins in July or random holiday lights during an escape attempt. We're cooking up brand‑new content behind the scenes. Can't say much yet, but let's just say… the guards are nervous. Thanks for sticking with us and keeping the prison in shape. More updates are coming. They won't require a mop and bucket afterward.
