Life in Prison Guides
How to break out, steal a saucer, and hold the yard without a fake code.
This hub is the map of every Life in Prison how-to on the wiki. The game is a released Roblox open-world action prison: 30 players, inmate or guard at spawn, criminal after you leave the walls. There are no codes to skip the learning curve. Use these pages in order if you just installed Roblox, or jump to the pain point you searched.
Recommended order
- Getting started — teams, first minute, what to pick up in the yard.
- Controls — PC, mobile, Xbox, UFO keys, drop, siren, scope.
- How to escape — Screwdriver, Scissors, Hammer, keycard, UFO, social exits.
- How to get the UFO — barn / mountain path, E/Q flight, Heaven platform.
- White Tree —
/e praytrades for Taser, Holy Cross, gamepass swaps. - Hidden weapons — AWM, M60, minigun, rocket, bat, shotgun.
- How to play as a guard — armory, innocent kills, sirens, arrests.
- Map and locations — yard, armory, barn UFO pad, White Tree, facility.
- Vehicles — UFO, motorcycle wheelie, police car siren and gate.
- Facility — turrets, chimney, Quad Launcher.
Same-category pages link each other on purpose. Escape mentions tools; tools mention tree trades; tree trades mention the UFO you need to leave the fence. If a dropdown is full, this hub is the “view all” page.
What these guides are not
They are not scripts. They are not a Trello that does not exist. They are not a redeem list — see how to redeem for the missing box. They do not replace weapon tiers, tool tiers, or the team hub. Use the escape planner when you want a ranked route, and the loadout tool when you are deciding on Swat vs Sniper vs Premium.
Videos sit in the middle of the child pages that have a real YouTube walkthrough. We will not invent IDs. Duplicate escape videos were merged into one escape article.
After you break out
Read criminals for raid habits, badges if you are hunting Heaven, and the changelog after a patch moves a gun. Community chatter lives on Discord. If search brought you here for Trello or codes, bounce to those hubs so you do not get scammed.
New accounts should finish getting started plus controls before they touch a Hammer. Equipping contraband paints you hostile. That is the whole tone of this sandbox: the court sentenced you, wait it out or start a riot — but know which tool you are holding first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for inmates, guards, and criminals.
Which guide should I open first?
Getting started, then how to escape if you spawned inmate.
Is there a video on every guide?
Only pages with a verified YouTube ID embed one video in the middle. Escape, UFO, White Tree, hidden weapons, and facility have them.
Do I need a gamepass to follow these?
No. Passes help in the armory but every route here has a free path.
