I wouldn't call those graphics in those games retro.  They don't look
like old games, especially Prison Architect.  The graphics while basic are
high resolution, nothing like what old "retro" hardware was capable of.

Retro graphics is like what you see in games like Shovel Knight, Broforce,
and Terraria.  Games that while they may actually be technically beyond
the capabilities of old hardware, have an art style very similar to what
old games were limited to.
