“In September 2025, we announced that we were contracted to provide design-build services for Prison Island, and we have now begun immediate construction of the approximately 15,000 square foot location in Indianapolis. We anticipate revenues of approximately $1.5 million from this project alone,” said CEO Joseph F. Basile, III. “The Prison Island project is another important win for our commercial contracting segment of JFB Construction. It is our goal to become the preferred contractor and partner for Prison Island in its plans to develop multiple locations throughout the United States.”
Company officials noted that the Indianapolis project represents a strategic step in JFB’s effort to expand its footprint in the experiential entertainment sector. The firm has increasingly pursued projects tied to recreation and hospitality, viewing them as resilient segments of the commercial construction market. Work on the site is already underway, with crews focused on interior build-out, themed cell construction and specialized mechanical systems required for the interactive format.
Currently there are two U.S. Prison Island locations, in Kansas City, Missouri and Houston, Texas. Prison Island is planning to rapidly grow its presence in the United States and has chosen JFB Construction to assist in developing the franchise.
“We value the relationship with Prison Island and their confidence in JFB Construction, and believe this project will lead to increased opportunities to develop additional Prison Island projects and further establish the JFB brand. We plan to complete construction in the second quarter of 2026,” concluded Mr. Basile.
Executives for both companies have indicated that Indianapolis is expected to serve as a model for future U.S. locations. The Prison Island concept typically features between 20 and 48 themed “cells,” each offering a different challenge that tests strategy, agility and cooperation. Industry analysts say demand for location-based entertainment has continued to rebound, driven by consumers seeking in-person experiences that cannot be replicated at home.
