I'm out of money how do I get more

[Slivs]

Please don't say get more prisoners because I don't have enough space I need to make another block thats why I need money

1. Dismantle all the trees on the map
2. Reduce your daily cost by firing Staff that you don't need.
3. Aim to get a "No Incident" bonus by keeping your prisoners calm and happy
4. Actually do get more prisoners. That's what a Holding Cell is good for
5. Try to Parole a few people. (Build a Parole room, Start a Parole program - Program tab of the clipboard)
6. Start a new prison, because now you know better... i guess?

7. don's spam max security unless you want them for workshop because they will never get paroled(just takes a really long time)
8. have a foresty
9. sell shares
10. get a bank loan
11. put prisoners in dorimotorys

The most important thing is probably to try to get grants by meetings certain requirements. Thoses are the main way to get money early on.

Forests aren't good to make benefits compared to workshops.

You don't need anything other than getting grants and managing your budget carefully, really. Use the build planner to make sure things are in order and add cells progressively instead of making huge constructions, otherwise you will overspend.

Forestries need investment before they return any money, and they are rather slow at doing that. It's not a good thing if you need quick money, but it's worth it to plant a few trees when you are good in the green, so you have emergency funds, that are not automatically removed for repairs or accidentally overspending.

you need a foresty if you want a workshop to work >.<

and yes the most important thing i forgot about grants! (i would research whatever allows you to do 3 grants instead of 2 cause it helps)

You can get bank loans, but the interest can be rather high. I ended up with a really high interest early on and had to fire a ton of people, cancel programs and get a bunch of prisoners so I could pay of the loan.

Also just check the finances, see where most of your money is going and if you can cut anywhere.

try cutting long term programs first, like foundation ed, and any program that does not have close to cap attendence so that your reform rate stays high. Be sure you have a parole room becasue that 3k really adds up. If you have not already be sure to take you max grantrs, and if you are really in a tough spot you can take that loan, be sure to apply the cash gained to money making programs like workshop, over all cap (dorms are great for that) and paroling out prisoners.
