Not going to lie, irons are pretty underrated, even outside of the game. This guy didn't steal his from the laundry - it was smuggled in through visitation.
Outside of game, hot iron + these = awesome bachelor grilled cheese.
School Tycoon
Well, for some positively bizarre reason, prisons are not very willing to share their blueprints and details about their security measures. Oddly, most searches for prison design are waylaid by references to Prison Architect. I have not had much luck in looking up the blueprints of modern prisons, but have had luck finding prisons that have closed since ~ the 1970s. The thing about prisons: they differ depending on where you are, and local attitudes. Some Scandanavian prisons could almost be mistaken for cramped hotel rooms, some old prisons in Britain retain their brutalist designs.
Most of my inspiration is taken from an author named Norman Johnston, most specifically Forms of Constraint: A History of Prison Architecture, which sells in most places for ~$25 USD. This page has a handful of pictures of prison designs in the book.
The U.S department of Justice has also released a PDF titled Jail Design Guide, A Resource for Small and Medium-Sized Jails. Although it includes multi-floor jails, it is salient to Prison Architect. The National Institute of Corrections has also issued the Jail Design Review Handbook, which covers many of the same bases as the previous document, but also includes information on day-to-day activities.
I'll check out some resources at the library tomorrw, but before I go, here are the cell block blueprints for Alcatraz. Hope this helped!
Edit: minor corrections, fixing link formatting.
It should be possible to play the whole game using the keyboard. Before you think it sounds foolish, it'd open up a lot, including the ability to playback macros. Think the clone tool on steroids. People could share sections of their prisons and you could import them by running the macro into your own prison. It'd also help people who have problems using the mouse for extended periods of time but have no problems typing.
Also, how cool would it be to have a button you could hit with your hand to lockdown the prison?
With that button you'd have to do some DIY work and put some USB guts inside, but it'd be significantly more durable than this mostly-ready-to-go option.
Edit: There might be a better way of going about it (I haven't much experience), but it seems using this as the guts should make it work (I was adapting from this guide and Peterjaap's comment on on the same page where he substituted the Teensy for the Trinket).
