What is Shiv?

Inmate melee weapon. One sheet says 3 metal. Another says trash cans. A combat note says it downs a target in 5 hits. V3 write-ups talk about AK bayonets more than shivs, so the 3-metal recipe may be the older craft. Trash cans are still listed as a source.

FAQ

Shiv questions

Does Valley Prison [V3] have working codes?

No developer-issued Valley Prison code has been published for this place, and the October 10, 2026 V3 notes do not mention a redeem box. A June 30, 2026 check of the live game also found no code field. Treat code lists for this game as unverified, and do not enter your Roblox password on a site that promises a code.

What happens after you escape?

Cross the outer perimeter as an inmate. The server then switches you to Escapee. You keep three lives. Resetting after the Escapee tag appears does not spend a life, but dying in combat or being arrested does. Losing all three lives sends you to Maximum Security.

How do you drop a keycard or tool?

Hold the item and press Z or Backspace, or type /drop or /d in chat. Inmates and Escapees can pass contraband this way. Corrections and other law-enforcement loadouts generally cannot drop issued weapons.

Do job points unlock guns?

Account level unlocks teams and gear. Job points are a separate ladder for each staff department and only change your rank title and insignia. Points earned as a Correctional Officer do not transfer to CERT, State Police, or Facility Employee.

What level do you need for State Police?

The V3 badge catalog stops at Level 100 with You really did it. Older role pages still list State Police at 135 and State Police SWAT at 175. Those higher gates were not restated in the October 10, 2026 patch notes, so check the team menu on your account before you grind toward them.
