From the guys who made Uplink, Darwinia and Defcon.
I've been watching their alpha release videos for a while now:

It's pretty much what it says on the tin - you design (and run) a prison. They keep adding new layers/mechanics with each alpha release and it's pretty fascinating to watch.
The alpha can now also purchased through Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/233450/
Anyone tried this yet?
I tried it a about 4 months ago, was still pretty buggy but interesting. When it's released it will definitely be pretty cool, not sure of its current state, though.
I've been following it but am going to wait until it's done with alpha before I plunk down the kind of dough they're asking.
Do the inmates cough?

They might do some complaining, which I am pretty sure violates the Geneva Convention.
I wonder if there's a Richard Speck titties feature.
Not enough gallows, the hole, tear gassing/shooting prison rioters.
Can the inmates get power ups, like from converting to Islam?
You'll have to wait for the "Gitmo" expansion pack.
Is there an assrape button?

Pfft, I'm talking real jailhouse Muslims like H. Rap Brown, not those phony wannabes from Yemen.

Yeah agreed.
The game is officially out, and The Atlantic might be dissecting it maybe a little bit too much: http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/10/design-and-punish/409573/?utm_source=SFFB
Didn't I post about it being out (though forgot this was a thread)? -_-

A 30 month old thread with 12 replies? How dare you!?

I know, but I thought if people were interested in discussing the Atlantic article, it might better be done in a separate thread. :)
Next update is coming out, adding multiple occupancy and bunk beds for cells.
