They will, however, not slow down the process of digging Escape Tunnels underneath them, as Perimeter Walls and buildings do.īuilding a fence over a light removes it. Just like all other, more expensive walls, fences won't be attacked or destroyed by prisoners. These ropes then can be used to climb fences and walls, and they will be left behind, and other prisoners will flock to it, so they must be dumped quickly. Additionally, prisoners working in the laundry can steal uniforms and craft ropes from them. If Escape Plans are enabled in the game options, then strong prisoners can climb walls and thus escape, if they make it quickly enough before getting caught by a guard. This makes the fence a good way to expand your prison quickly and cheaply. Fences are a good way to surround your prison without spending much money on walls.
