Prison quests (walkthrough)
All three quests start automatically when you enter prison. They can progress in parallel.
Prison Survivor
Goal: Spend consecutive time locked up on the same sentence — milestones track 10, 20, and 30 days in prison (each day incarcerated counts).
| Milestone | Requirement |
|---|---|
| First stretch | 10 days in prison |
| Second stretch | 20 days |
| Full run | 30 days |
Reward: $100 when the quest completes.
Survival tips
- Keep health, morale, and energy out of the danger zone — at zero on key stats you can die.
- Use yard, clinic, food, and legal/social options to stabilize before picking risky fights.
- Difficulty: Medium if you are new to prison; easy once you learn the daily loop.
Kingpin
Milestones
- Win three prison fights (wins counted toward this quest).
- Form a gang — choose Form a Gang: you need strong Prison Reputation, at least two jail friends with friendship at least halfway to the max, then you must win the initiation fight (success adds a few days to your sentence).
- Reach high standing in prison — the quest talks about 80% prison rep; in practice your Prison Reputation needs to be very high for this step to complete when days pass.
Reward: $200.
Strategy
- Raise respect safely: gym, jobs, gang meeting (after forming), some events — avoid losing streaks that tank rep.
- Befriend inmates with gifts/chat before attempting gang formation.
- Difficulty: Hard — rep grind + social setup + combat.
Scholar
- Read five books — prison library events and reading actions count toward this (not only the city library).
- Reach halfway mastery of the Prison Life skill — you passively learn each prison day; books, counseling, and activities speed it up.
Reward: $150.
Tips: Visit library choices often; pair with low-risk days so you are not constantly in infirmary.
Difficulty: Medium.
