## 🏛️ The Premise

You've been appointed warden of a small correctional facility. The prison is underfunded, overcrowded, and struggling to maintain order. Your mission: transform this crumbling institution into a model of rehabilitation and security.

**But it won't be easy.**

Inmates arrive with different security levels, needs, and behaviors. Staff must be hired and managed. Facilities must be built and upgraded. Finances must be balanced. And every decision you make affects the lives of the people in your care.

**The system is broken. Can you fix it?**
