Prison jobs

When you are in prison, conventional careers pause. Two institutional jobs remain: laundry and barber (hairdressing). Both train practical skills, pay modest wages, and help you survive incarceration with something to do each day.

Laundry​

  • Role fantasy: washing, folding, keeping linens moving.
  • Skill: cleaning rises quickly from daily passes (variable gains).
  • Levels: amateur and regular washer tiers; higher tier expects strong cleaning already.

If you expect a long sentence, laundry is the fastest way to rocket cleaning for post-release jobs like kitchen dish pit—think of it as involuntary training.

Barber​

  • Role fantasy: cutting hair inside the yard or shop.
  • Skill: haircutting (barber skill) is the focus; master tier also expects cleaning because hygiene rules the workshop.
  • Levels: apprentice, normal, and master—each step raises pay slightly.

Barber promotions need haircutting thresholds (50 for normal, 100 for master) plus cleaning for the final jump.

Interviews​

Neither prison job uses interview flows—you are assigned work by circumstance, not HR.

Strategy​

  • Pick laundry if you want one stat mastered fast; pick barber if you want a craft that pays marginally better at the top.
  • Plan post-prison employment: haircutting supports civilian barber fantasies; cleaning supports cook or service roles.
  • Stay out of fights when possible; injuries waste days you could spend grinding these skills.

Treat prison jobs as stat bootcamps, not wealth engines. Your real payday returns when you walk free with a maxed utility skill.
