WARDENS,
Of the 4,700 prisons created using The Escapists Prison Editor in the past week, 12 made it onto the Prisons of Fame Week 1 shortlist, as chosen by you.
There can only be one winner of the highly sought after Escapists Hoodie though, and I've been testing, probing and escaping from each shortlisted prison to determine who came out on top - and who spent the rest of their sentence in the SHU.
The nominees are:
I narrowed these 12 nominees (which are all in this collection if you'd like to play them all!) down to 3 finalists, who are:
USS Lockwing by Axonium

The USS Lockwing is a prison ship. IN SPACE. If that mere combination isn't enough, Warden Axonium even recreated stars and planets through clever use of light sources and scenery.
Aside from great design, the prison functions really well too. Relatively small, you really get the sense that you are trapped in space - doomed to serve your sentence or face oxygen starvation and an eventual collision with overwhelming gravity.
Jailed School by Kulkinz

They teach you at Warden School never to work with children or animals. Kulkinz foolishly disobeys this directive with his prison influenced by a school.
The design here is fantastic with great attention paid to the theme. The canteen has school style tables, there's an IT Lab and even a large library.
Give it a play!
Fort Kuwabara by Grizzly

Kuwabara, KUWABARA!
I like this prison. Alot. Mostly because of the surrounding electric fence and Grizzly's obvious love of guard towers, but also because I imagine prisoners walking around screaming KUWABARA KUWABARA (which is a Japanese phrase used to ward off lightening) before their escape attempts.
It's a really solid prison with 1 well hidden weakness. Play it, see if you can find it, wear rubber shoes.
AND THE WINNER....

CONGRATULATIONS AXONIUM! Your prison will be featured in the shiny and new PRISONS OF FAME Winners Collection and I'll be in touch soon to arrange delviery of your hoodie. Good work Warden.
Nominations for Week 2 of PRISON OF FAME are open now, just head to this thread and post a link to the prison you'd like to nominate to ensure that it gets considered next week. You have until Friday to nominate and remember - you cannot nominate your own work.
Get back to it Wardens,
