Unlocking Land Expansion

Access the Tech Tree

To begin purchasing more land, you need to access the bureaucracy or tech tree. Look at the left side of the tech tree where you’ll find the accountant and finance options available for research.

Research Finance and Land Expansion

You must learn two key technologies to unlock land purchasing:

Accountant — Found in the finance section

Land Expansion — The technology that allows you to purchase additional plots

Hiring an Accountant

After researching both the accountant and land expansion technologies, you’ll need to hire an accountant at your facility. This staff member is essential for managing the finances required to purchase new land.

Purchasing New Land

Once you have an accountant hired and the necessary technologies unlocked, you can now purchase additional land plots. Multiple land parcels become available for purchase around your current prison:

Upper side plots — $20,000

Right side plots — $20,000

Bottom side plots — $20,000

Simply select the land parcel you wish to purchase and complete the transaction. Each plot costs $20,000.

Example Purchase

To purchase upper-side land, select the desired plot and confirm the $20,000 purchase. Your prison boundaries will immediately expand to include the newly acquired land.

Summary

Buying more land in Prison Architect is a straightforward process. Research the accountant and land expansion technologies through the tech tree, hire an accountant, and then purchase available land parcels around your facility for $20,000 each. With these steps completed, you’ll have the space you need to expand your prison operations and build a larger, more efficient facility.
