How to unlock the Chain Gang achievement in Tropico 6 - Definitive Guide

Set up:
Mode: Sandbox
Map: Random
Era: Cold War
Starting population: 200
Money: Unlimited

The rest doesn't matter.

When the game prompts you to set up your constitution, be sure to select "No Separation" under Separation of Powers. Pick whatever you like for the rest.

Start the game and build 5 prisons right close around your palace. "Quick build" them all and then be sure to set all of them to "Convict Labor" mode. Raise the pay at all of them to maximum so you don't keep arresting the guards later. Now go into each prison and pay to manually hire a full staff of guards for each, since the position requires a high school education.

Wait for the freighter to bring in your enormous prison staff of brutish guards.

Now open the almanac and on the first tab, "Overview", go to "Homeless". On this page select "Homeless Families" then go to the right side and start manually arresting all the broke and poor homeless people. You could also do this from the "Wealth" page if you like. All the guards will be "Well Off" so you won't be constantly arresting them as well. If it stops letting you arrest people, just go back to the game and let it run until everyone already arrested makes their way to prison and then start again.

Once you have about 4 1/2 prisons filled the achievement will pop. Should only take you 15-20 minutes.

i found an "easy" way to get this.

I started a game on a random big map: unlimited money, least negative effects.

use the edict: penal colony (dont know if its called like that in english) - to get more and criminal immigrants. - just keep building like in a regular game -
AND DONT BUILD ANY POLICE OR JAIL !!! (also dont build the drone-command-center since it can kill the criminals)
build a lot of metro-sations and night clubs.
Use the spy academy and checkpoints to find more criminals

once in a while check how many criminals you have.

I had around 150 criminals - then i started to build 6-7 jails and 2-3 police stations - set the number of guards to 1 so convicts stay longer in prison.

with the courthouse you can additionally arrest some rebels or random people...

now just watch the jails fill up...

this isnt the easy way. the easiest way is this: start sandbox with unllimited money. build 5 prisons with max guards. get population around 200, and manually arrest 150 people. easier if you destroy all housing and just arrest people off the homeless board. takes about 10-15 minutes

also lowering the number of guards doesnt decrease stay time, its actually a hinderence since the guards are the ones arresting people. so if you only have one guard it takes longer to arrest 32 people than it does for their prison stay

Funny that nobody mentions that you have to select the work mode of all prisons to convict labor. This would've saved me the trouble of looking through every single edict.
Also pay attention that you're not arresting the prison staff...

We are building 5 prisons (we set them to the “Prisoner Labor” operating mode). Then we pause and manually arrest, there should be about 140 people in prison

There was no way to save up the required amount if you just put people in prison yourself. They came out quickly.
This is what I got: a sandbox with endless money. We begin to build an ordinary city. Don’t forget to set up raids to save all the people from the pirates and surveillance from the spies. Decrees: settlement colony, contraception ban, weapons permit. The constitution includes traditional marriages, a ban on emigration, and total surveillance.
Buildings - immigration service, more nightclubs, metro. Do not build police buildings or prisons. It is advisable to build 4-5 barracks (rebels will often attack).
Our goal is to reach a population of approximately +/- 1000 people, reduce security and identify criminals as much as possible.
Look in the almanac in the special residents section. The number of criminals will be indicated there. As soon as this figure reaches 150, pause and start building prisons and police stations. 5-6 of these should be enough. We give prisons a minimum budget and prison labor, and the police, on the contrary, a maximum budget. All. We save and accelerate. The police must do everything themselves. The prisons will be filled and we get the trophy. Everything took about 1.5 hours
