Gameplay:

In Prison Architect - Gangs, players begin by designing and constructing their prison from scratch, choosing the layout, facilities, and security measures. They must plan the prison's infrastructure, including cells, common areas, staff facilities, and security installations. The Gangs offers a robust building system that allows players to create intricate designs while adhering to their budget limitations.

Once the prison is up and running, players must manage various aspects, such as inmate needs, staff recruitment, finances, and security.
