Welcome to Prison Life, the classic Roblox sandbox where you decide your destiny behind bars! Whether you want to enforce order, plan a daring escape, or return for revenge, this guide has everything you need to master each role. Learn essential controls, discover weapon locations, and navigate the prison as a Guard, Inmate, or Criminal.
Getting Started in Prison Life
To begin your adventure in Prison Life, you first need to choose your role from the initial menu. Each role offers a unique gameplay experience and objectives.
Choosing Your Role
To play as an inmate, you must choose the 'Prisoners' role from the initial menu. If you wish to enforce the law, select the 'Guards' role instead.
PC/Laptop Controls
For players on PC and laptop, basic movement and interaction controls are straightforward:
Action | Control |
|---|---|
Crawl/Stand Up | C |
Punch | F |
Playing as an Inmate
As an inmate, your primary goal is to survive and ultimately escape the prison. This requires resourcefulness, stealth, and sometimes, a bit of brute force.
Spawning and Initial Steps
Upon spawning as an inmate, you'll find yourself within the prison walls. Be aware that the armory is a dangerous location within the prison, as it contains weapons that both guards and potentially other inmates might seek.
Inmate Weapons & Items
To defend yourself or aid in your escape, you'll need to find weapons and key items.
Hammer
A hammer is an item that can be used to kill others. It's a useful tool for combat and certain escape methods.
Crude Knife
A crude knife can be found in the prison yard and is also used to kill. Keep an eye out for it to gain an advantage in close-quarters combat.
Keycard
Guards can drop a keycard when defeated. This crucial item is required to escape both the armory and the prison itself, making it essential for a successful breakout.
Inmate Escape Routes
There are multiple ways for inmates to escape the prison, ranging from subtle tricks to more direct methods.
Toilet Escape
A player on PC can break a toilet to reveal an escape route. This is achieved by hitting the toilet up to 25 times with a hammer.
Other Escape Paths
Beyond breaking toilets, inmates can find other ways to exit the prison grounds. For instance, some may find escape by climbing out, as seen when players ascend structures like trees.
Remember, a keycard is essential for escaping the main prison building.
Playing as a Guard
As a guard, your role is to maintain order, prevent inmate escapes, and enforce the rules within Prison Life.
Spawning and Responsibilities
After choosing the 'Guards' role, you'll spawn ready to patrol the prison. Guards often patrol key areas like the armory, which contains essential weapons for control.
Guard Abilities
Guards have special tools at their disposal to manage inmates.
Taser
Guards can use a taser to stun non-guards. However, there is a cooldown after each use, so timing your shots is critical.
Handcuffs
Guards can use handcuffs to arrest inmates. There is a 15-second time limit between arrests, requiring strategic use of this ability.
Guard Rules and Penalties
Maintaining order comes with responsibilities. Guards will get a warning for killing an innocent inmate without a weapon. Killing three innocent inmates without a weapon will result in the guard turning into an inmate for the rest of the game session, so be careful who you target.
Playing as a Criminal
For those seeking revenge or pure chaos, playing as a criminal offers a different perspective outside the prison walls.
Becoming a Criminal
To play as a criminal, you must first escape the prison as an inmate, then reset your character, and finally spawn as a criminal. This allows you to return to the prison area with a new objective.
Criminal & Riot Gamepass Items
Criminals have access to powerful weapons, and some exclusive items are available through the Riot Gamepass.
Riot Gamepass
Owning the Riot Gamepass costs 200 Robux and provides exclusive items that give you a significant advantage. This gamepass is ideal for players who want to dominate the battlefield.

Riot Armor
Riot Armor is another exclusive item from the Riot Gamepass. It provides an additional 40 hitpoints to the player, significantly increasing your durability in combat.
Riot Shield
The riot shield is an indestructible item that blocks incoming bullets, making you nearly invincible from frontal attacks. This is a crucial item for pushing objectives or defending against enemy fire.
AK-47
The AK-47 is an automatic weapon similar to the M4A1 that criminals can find. This reliable assault rifle is a staple for any criminal looking to cause mayhem.
