Prison Architect announces Second Chances expansion

Today, Paradox Interactive and Double Eleven unveiled the next expansion for Prison Architect. Known as Second Chances, the DLC “introduces prisoner rehabilitation programs, allowing inmates to reduce their sentences and reintegrate into society.”

Here’s some additional information and a trailer:

Each program in Prison Architect: Second Chances offers a different means of rehabilitating a prisoner and changing their behavior. This includes opportunities for inmates to socialize with civilians, take classes on peaceful conflict resolution, and more. Positive behavioral changes can lead to sentence reductions, giving inmates a chance to return to their lives beyond the prison. Reoffending inmates will cost Wardens, encouraging players to implement and oversee these programs with care.

Key Features:

– Return to Reform: Non-work programs, such as Animal Therapy, Meet & Greet, and Former Prisoner Classes can remove an inmate’s negative traits and see improved behaviors.
– Good Behavior: Inmates can have their sentences reduced or increased based on their actions and reoffenders can now be sent back to prison. Players will be fined for each reoffender.
– Room for Improvement: Inmates with existing or earned work credentials can become vendors to both prisoners and visitors in inmate-run rooms, including a Bakery, Restaurant and Therapy Room.
– Back to Society: Inmates can earn work credentials through experience partaking in different work and training programs.

Switch players can access the Second Chances expansion starting on June 29.
