Are you having any specific issues? Design is subjective and personally I don’t think I’m good at it either (I always just go with rectangular blocks everywhere).

One thing that I don’t think I’d do is putting foundation through the whole map. That’s a whole lot of money upfront. I’d just build sections that I need and leave the rest undeveloped.

well i heard like people say putting the prisoners in the middle will help me maintain more security and control though i am unsure how that would happen with the size of my prison btw here's the updated design

Welcome to Lemmy and the tycoon community.

Prison Architect is a great game, but this been over 10 years since I last played so, I unfortunately do not remember the various strategies (I wouldn't be surprised if they changed since then).

Your prison looks pretty organized though.
