# Mango Prison

A complete corrections system for FiveM — cinematic intake, CRT prison terminal, real prison jobs, escapes, lockdowns and more. ESX, QBCore and Qbox.

> **Not a jail script — an entire corrections system.** Serious enough for hardcore RP servers, light enough for 10–30 minute sentences.

Mango Prison turns Bolingbroke into a living facility: prisoners arrive on a cinematic bus ride, get booked in with their property secured, receive prison blues, an inmate number and a cell — and serve their time inside a system with a daily timetable, real multi-step prison jobs, a behaviour score that matters, visitation with secure lockers, a medical wing, head counts, scoped ox\_doorlock lockdowns, and multi-stage escapes that alert the police through your dispatch.

Corrections officers run everything from a **retro CRT prison terminal**: inmate database, cell management, lockdown control, PA announcements, timetable, head counts, write-ups, and a full audit log of every action.

* **0.00 ms idle** — no threads, zones or targets unless you are an inmate or on duty
* **Everything survives** disconnects, reconnects and server restarts
* **Nothing hardcoded** — every coordinate, job, door, sound and rule is config
* **ESX Legacy / QBCore / Qbox** through a clean bridge system

**New install?** Start at [Installation](/mango5m-docs/resources/mango-prison/getting-started/installation.md). Pair it with [Mango MDT](/mango5m-docs/resources/mango-mdt.md) — jailing from the MDT works out of the box, and escapes create real dispatch calls. **Something not working?** See [Troubleshooting](/mango5m-docs/resources/mango-prison/reference/troubleshooting.md) or [I Need Support](/mango5m-docs/i-need-support.md).
