Two numbers go up at once, and they do not buy the same things.
Account XP unlocks teams, milestone badges, and whatever the armory still gates by level. Job points only change the rank title and shoulder insignia inside one department. They do not add health, and they do not move with you when you change jobs.
XP that is written down
| Action | Who | XP | Job points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stay in a server | Any team | About 15 per minute | 1 per minute on staff teams only |
| Sweep a puddle | Janitor, broomstick | 15 | 1 |
| Repair a vent | Maintenance, toolbox, 5 seconds | 30 on the vent sheet; older sheets still say 20 | 3 on the current vent sheet |
| Repair the generator | Maintenance | 30 on the item sheet; the vent sheet only says the repair gives XP | Not stated |
| Kitchen or laundry shift | Inmate, level 0 | Cash and XP at clock-out | Not a staff ladder |
The vent reward changed on paper. The vent and screwdriver pages say the current repair pays 30 XP and 3 job points, and that older versions paid 20 XP. The leveling page still prints 20 XP per vent. If your popup shows 20, the older number is still live on that server.
Laundry at V3 launch was reported far above a normal shift, including sessions over 8,000 XP. That was called out as an early payout bug, not a rate you should plan a week around. AFK macros and jump scripts used to farm the 15 XP tick are listed as a kick-to-ban offense and can wipe levels.
Combat XP is real but not given as a fixed number: frisks, arrests, solitary bookings, and stopping armed inmates, especially in Maximum. Guards chain those events more safely than an inmate who pulls a gun out of a bin.
Level badges
These names match the V3 Roblox badge catalog:
- Level 5: Starting to enjoy the game?
- Level 25: Getting used to it.
- Level 50: Impressive.
- Level 100: You really did it...
Welcome to the game. is for joining during V3. Escape The Prison is for leaving the facility. State Police is for unlocking Fremont State Police. Meet the owner. requires sharing a server with gergo. Honored Assistance is catalogued only as "do something"; the trigger is not published.
Team gates that may be stale
| Team | Level on the role pages |
|---|---|
| Medical Staff, standard guards | 2 |
| Maintenance | 5 |
| Riot | 25 |
| CERT, Assistant Director | 45 |
| Director | 70 |
| State Police | 135 |
| State Police SWAT | 175 |
Pre-launch V3 notes said the account cap was moving from 175 down to 100 while old XP was kept. The highest level badge is 100. Weapon pages still mention an Escapee SA58 at 150 and The Harrow at 175, and launch reviews said The Harrow was removed from general lockers. Use the in-game team list as the authority.
Correctional Officer ranks
CO is listed from level 2. Insignia is on both shoulders. A Guard rank exists in files and is marked unobtainable.

| Junior Officer | 405 |

Other ladders
CERT, listed at account level 45: Junior Operator 0, Operator 300, Senior Operator 600, Sergeant 900, Assistant Team Leader 1,200, Team Leader 1,500.
State Police, listed at 135: Cadet 0, Trooper 195, Trooper First Class 405, Corporal 510, Sergeant 750, Lieutenant 1,110, Captain 1,350.

Facility Employee, listed from level 0: Junior Intern 0, Intern 150, Receptionist 225, Office Employee 300, Employee Supervisor 450, Employee Manager 525, Internal Affairs 750.
Medical ranks run from Volunteer to Head Doctor on the rank guide. The point steps were not copied here because they were not in the job-point table that supplied the ladders above.
Riot is capped around 3 or 4 players. CERT is capped around 4 or 5. Director is 1 or 2. State Police uses the 1-per-6 inmate ratio on the team page. Janitor puddles spawn in the Corrections building (second-floor halls, offices, medical, booking) and in the Minimum/Medium buildings.
Fastest legal job-point loop on paper: Maintenance or Janitor, because the repair and the puddle add points on top of the 1-per-minute tick.
