Given that running a public-facing server is just asking for strangers to draw giant dicks all over your jail, you'll most likely be running a private game with friends, so it's not an unfair assumption. There's also very little in the way of communication options built in, assuming that you'll just get your buddies on Discord or Steam's built-in voice chat. You're also able to take your regular offline game and take it online to play with friends, so long as it's untainted by mods.
My old broadband setup would have choked trying to do that, but anyone who streams video on any kind of regular basis should be able to handle it. The host player also needs a fairly robust upstream - 100 kilobytes per second at least, per player. Escape mode and Warden mode are out, and mod support isn't included yet, but the developers say if multiplayer catches on they may invest the time in making those extras work too.
There's a few things that you can't do online. Check out the developer announcement video below. Probably best not to run an entirely public server - this one's best with friends, for obvious reasons. Online mode is still considered 'alpha' and has some limitations, but they've otherwise got the core of the tiny-person punishment game working online. First debuted in September as a special opt-in build, the carceral management sim's online multiplayer mode is now polished enough to be included in the game proper. Prison Architect has a little present for everyone before Introversion Software go into holiday lockdown.
