Jail and release
Arrest through release
Booking, custody, sentence tracking, bail, jail doors, guards, inmates, and release-officer flows are the core single-player systems under development.
Status · reviewed 2026-09-06
Behind Bars is being prepared for its next beta.
The single-player jail, release, parole, and record systems are the current focus. The next beta targets Schedule I v0.4.6f13. Court and multiplayer are not part of the current release line.
01 / In the current mod
The single-player justice loop is the active build.
Behind Bars expands what happens after an arrest: serving time, getting out, returning on parole, and keeping that history connected to the player.
Parole
Follow-up after release
Parole conditions, check-ins, violations, officer coordination, and completion are in active development alongside the jail lifecycle.
Crime and records
Consequences that carry forward
Crime, witness, rap-sheet, and parole-record paths are connected to the wider justice flow.
Game support
Schedule I v0.4.6f13
The current beta environment uses MelonLoader 0.7.0. Check the player guide again after a Schedule I update.
02 / In development
What is next, and what is not included yet.
These are the places where development is still moving. They are kept separate so players can tell the current mod apart from future work.
