A build-your-own correctional facility, complete with modular bunks, steel toilets, and a full complement of inmates and staff: 14 prisoners, 2 standard guards, 3 riot police. Part of the Genuine Models USA line, this set imagines what play might look like for today’s 8–11 year olds, raised in a country where incarceration is as routine as recess.
