Prison is a loop of mining, selling and ranking up from A to Z. Every rank opens a better mine, and at the top a prestige resets your progress in exchange for permanent multipliers. Pickaxe enchants, gangs and an economy built on blocks keep the grind moving.
Check how often the economy resets, how enchants are earned and whether ranks, keys or multipliers are sold for advantages. Read how prison servers work for the mines, ranks and prestige system.
Right now 492 players are on the 4 prison servers that answer our pings, out of 9 listed. Over the last four weeks, the busiest hour was around 15:00 UTC. Measured at 23:29 UTC.

How to choose prison servers
- 01
Ask how often the economy resets, because a reset wipes the money and ranks you earned.
- 02
Check how pickaxe enchants are earned. Grinding tokens feels very different from buying keys.
- 03
Look at what the store sells. Multipliers and rank skips can make free players feel stuck.
- 04
See whether gangs or cells exist, they decide how social the server is.
Questions
Questions about prison servers
What does prestige mean on a prison server?
Prestige resets your rank back to A after you reach the last rank. In exchange you keep a permanent bonus, such as a sell multiplier or a new mine, and a prestige tag that shows how far you have gone.
What is OP prison?
OP prison is a faster variant with huge enchant levels, quick rankups and inflated numbers. It skips the slow early grind and focuses on stacking enchants and multipliers.
Are prison servers pay to win?
Some are. Look at the store before you invest time: if rank skips, sell multipliers or overpowered pickaxes are for sale, paying players move much faster. Servers that sell only cosmetics are fairer.
