Any Volunteers For A Prison Stint?

-

Would you willingly go to gaol and live like a prisoner for a few days? Nearly 1000 people have jumped at just such a chance in the Swiss city of Zurich, volunteeri­ng to take part in testing a new gaol before the facility accepts its first inmates. The volunteer ‘prisoners’ won’t have to pay – or get paid – and will be treated like inmates in some regards: testing food, undergoing intake procedures, walking the yard, etc. They will, however, be able to bail out if they start to crack under the conditions.
