Who Has Tried It?
Two Malaysian tourists – Ng Inn Wo, a dentist, and Ong Boon Tek, a businessman from Kuala Lumpur have tried the ‘Feel The Jail’ program. They learned about the extraordinary project and decided to give it a try. After both of them were received by the prison officials, they were provided prisoners clothes, blankets, mugs, plates and then sent inside the prison. It was noted that both enjoyed the stay. They indulged in gardening and other prison-related activities during their 48-hour stay inside. Until now, 47 International tourists have tried this program.
What Else?
This program was started in 2016 by the officials of Telangana. The tourists get pre-cooked meals served during their day, but rest of the facilities are same for them.
