Life in Prison

Life in Prison is a 2022 prison-themed game created by a group 403 FORBIDDEN on January 30, 2022. Like other prison-themed games, players either take the role of a cop/prisoner and they have to guard the prison and arrest guilty prisoners and criminals as a cop, or escape the prison as a prisoner.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The game has great models that look really realistic, which really does a great job at making the game look so. Despite still being able to look through the walls, it allows you to notice what's happening on the other side.
 * 2) While looking like Prison Life, the yard is very well done and it not only has some tables where you can sit next to them, but there's also a soccer field so you could play soccer with someone during the yard time.
 * 3) Good amount of weapons to choose from, especially the ones where you simply need to hold your left mouse button to use them rapidly without pressing it a lot. The guard rom also has some weapons that can be useful to deal with an inmate/criminal easily.
 * 4) The arrest cooldown is not that long. It only lasts for 8 seconds, which is shorter than Prison Life, which has a 15 second cooldown. This allows you to arrest criminals faster if you notice some.
 * 5) It has a lot of stuff that is very useful, such as the holy bible allowing to open a building with another player that has the key card, a quad launcher which has four rockets to fire, dealing a lot of damage, making it easy to kill an enemy in just two hits, or even a screwdriver, which can not only be used to kill other players, but also to unscrew a vent in the cell room to escape.
 * 6) The cars can be used to run over other players, which can be useful to deal a lot of damage to an enemy, especially a cop if you are playing as a criminal. This can allow you to kill them much faster.
 * 7) *If they are shot enough, they can also explode, killing players very closely, which adds to realism.
 * 8) You can find a UFO in the mountains, allowing you to fly in it, which could make it easier to get the quad launcher. However, you need to remember that only one UFO can be spawned, meaning the one that was already spawned must be either destroyed or disappear to be spawned again.
 * 9) One nice detail the shield form the guard room has that if it is hit enough times, it breaks into four pieces, allowing the player to be hit easily after losing their shield, forcing them to go back to the armory and get another shield.
 * 10) There are items that can heal you, allowing for you to restore your health after being damaged. Medikit is one of the most common healing items, which heals players nearby, no matter how much health do they have, or even fruits that can be found in the kitchen and one of the buildings, which heal you if you eat them.
 * 11) Even after getting three warnings (five if you have a premium gamepass unlocked) as a cop and turning into a inmate, you can go back into being a cop after a while, allowing you to play as a cop again if the team isn't full, which is a nice thing for those who don't want to play as inmates and want to play as cops.
 * 12) You can modify your settings, especially on PC, allowing you to use different keys on your keyboard to crawl or punch.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The game can sometimes be unfair or filled with trolls and/or toxic players.
 * 2) *Plenty of servers can have balance issues, where players mostly prefer playing on the prisoner team, which can be unfair to cops, considering that 95% of chance, an inmate would just go to the armory to kill a cop until they drop a key card to escape, which can be unfair if there are only two cops, or cops that try to let the inmates escape, with barely any to stop them due to either exploring the town or currently not playing, despite still being in the server. There's also no limit for inmates, which could make it very difficult to get rid of all of them from the guard room.
 * 3) *There can be a chance when a criminal will begin attacking you either with the Stop Sign or the baseball bat for no reason, even if you are an inmate. This can make the cops easier to arrest you if they drop you onto the yard while a cop is there.
 * 4) *Many inmates usually attack you for no reason other than to get a weapon from you or the key card, which can be very annoying since it could manipulate other inmates to follow you to kill you.
 * 5) **Sometimes an inmate just tries to get away from you after punching you, which can be annoying easily, though you can give them karma by killing them back with a weapon.
 * 6) *Since the cars and the UFO can explode, some criminals can explode your car if you are driving in it, instantly killing you after the explosion, which could be annoying, since some could do it on purpose instead of accidentally.
 * 7) The weapons don't reload if you switch them, forcing you to have them selected until you reload them, unlike Prison Life.
 * 8) Sometimes if a inmate has a weapon, either from the guard room or not, you cannot use handcuffs on them, forcing you to kill them, which doesn't make really sense.

Trivia

 * The game originally started as a fanmade sequel to Prison Life called Prison Life 2, made by the same group. However, it was deleted on March 13, 2022 due to receiving a message about its deletion, causing it to be replaced with Life in Prison.
 * If you listen closely while riding a boat, the boat has the same sound as cars when a player drives it.
