Expand a Housing District

Expand Your Housing Districts
Buildings in general can't be built until a Housing District is expanded. This includes prisons, which need an expanded housing district to be placed in one of its building slots.

Which Prison to Build

Isolation Prison

Frostpunk 2 Which Prison to Build
Isolation Prisons, which are supported by New Londoners and Frostlanders, are highly recommended as they have the least negative impact. Thought-Correction Prison, supported by Stalwarts, decreases trust, while Punitive Prison, supported by Pilgrims, increases tension.

However, it's important to note that you could still chose to build the other prisons in order to built better relations with the Pilgrims or the Stalwarts.
