I heard about and played this game. It is essentially a prison simulator where your goal is to survive. The plot seems simple, but I actually found it fun. You can choose your attributes and what crime you're in prison for. Each crime has an associated sentence. I find the concept interesting. It has some flaws, though (poor graphics, controls are hard to get used to). However, it was programmed by one person. Here's a link to the game: http://www.mdickie.com/prev_hardtime.htm
