The office is where officials work - one such room has exactly one character assigned to it. Regardless of who works in a given room, the required equipment always stays the same and consists of a desk, a chair and a filing cabinet.

Below you can find a list of officials and what they give:

• Warden - opens access to bureaucracy (see: Bureaucracy) and lets you set a regime (see: Regime);
• Accountant - lets you see a daily balance sheet and take loans;
• Psychologist - lets you see what prisoners need in the Needs tab in the Reports menu (in the lower right corner of the screen). See: Prisoners' needs.
• Foreman - he doesn't play any role himself, but lets you unlock useful bureaucratic tools: clone tool, prison labour, janitor and groundskeeper.
• Chief - lets you invent: deployment, riot guards and Cctv.

Offices don't need to be large to function properly. The minimum size, i.e. 4x4, is entirely enough.

Assigning an official to a given room is fairly easy - just choose a desired member of the staff in the staff menu (see: Staff) and place her in an office to assign her to it. What's interesting, they can work even if their offices lack required equipment (a desk, a chair or a filing cabinet). Maybe it will be repaired soon.
