Grant

Grants are sums of money given by a governmental body or organization when certain tasks in your prison have been undertaken. They are one of your prison's main sources of income.

Available grants can be viewed under Reports. You can accept no more than two grants at a time. Your accountant, however, can increase this number to three by researching 'Extra Grant' in her bureaucracy branch. Cancelling a grant results in the repayment of the advance and a small fine.

Grant Types

There are three forms of grants which may or may not be available to you in the beginning.

• Starting grants - These are grants which are available to the player at the start. They require no pre-requisites.
• Locked grants - These are grants which are initially locked can only be unlocked when certain pre-requisites are met.
• Hidden grants - These are grants which will not show up on your grants list as there are more than one sets of pre-requisites that need to be met first.

The maximum amount of money you can take out is $250,000. The bank will refuse to lend you more money if you miss out on interest payments. You must repay the loan manually; it will not be taken out of your cashflow.
