Prison Life: A beginner’s guide

Prison Life is a role-playing game that gives you the option to choose between being a prisoner trying to escape or a guard keeping the prisoners inside. This game is one of the most popular titles in Roblox and it recently got some interesting updates after a long time.

While the game might look simple, there are some strategies and plans you must know if you want to win both as the guard and the inmate. Here’s a detailed guide on Roblox Prison Life to help you understand the game and get better at it as well.

When you start Prison Life, you get the option to either be the guard or one of the inmates. It might not be completely dependent on your choice because sometimes a particular role has too many players, mostly guards. This means that you will have to become one of the inmates.

The objective of the game is simple; if you are the guard, you need to make sure that all the inmates are following the orders timely, creating no ruckus, not trying to get inside restricted zones, and most importantly, not trying to escape the prison.

As the guard, you get:

• Access to guns in the armory room
• Access to other tools such as a shield
• Keycard that opens different areas in the prison
• Taser and handcuffs to control inmates

As the prisoner, you don’t have access to anything great. All you have to do is follow the directives, go to the different regions when asked, and avoid raising any suspicion while trying to plan an escape. You have the option to sneak into the guard room to get guns or find escape routes around the prison.

Do note that there is a stamina bar that runs out when you are moving around or jumping quickly. It is better to use it wisely or else your escape plan will be foiled. Eating food and resting can restore your stamina.

Remember that as the inmate, you need to:

• Follow orders to avoid getting tased or arrested
• Moving around in allowed areas only
• Avoid standing still or hiding
• Be careful in planning your escape

The objectives of the game might sound simple, but there are some complicated things under the gameplay mechanics that you need to follow. For example, as the guard, you cannot just start tasing or shooting inmates if they are following orders. This will get you in trouble and even turn you into one of the inmates.

As the inmate, you need to reset your character the moment you are arrested because getting arrested turns you suspicious and you are not allowed to pick up anything until you die in the game.

To get better in Prison Life, the first thing you need to do as a prisoner and a guard is understanding the map, knowing your way around, and getting familiar with all the places to hide. Always be careful while moving around the prison and take notice of other players as well.

There are many things in the game such as vending machines that are not functional but can work great as cover during a shootout. Prisoners can get access to the keycards and then weapons if the guards are not careful enough. Similarly, if the guards get a hint of a prisoner trying to get access to weapons, they can arrest or shoot them.
