The Associated Press reports that Zurich, Switzerland, is opening a new jail and wants to make sure that everything is in order before the grand opening. So it's recruiting volunteers who would be willing to stay locked up for three days in March, living in cells and eating jail food just like real inmates. Participants will get to experience the regular prisoner intake process experience as the new staff trains to supervise real inmates.
Bear in mind that it is a simulation and not an actual jail experience. So attacking the biggest inmate in the yard on your first day is probably unnecessary.

Wow, 3 days to escape from American politics, feeling utterly powerless in regards to Russia invading Ukraine, uncontrolled inflation in the face of declining wages, and other signs of late-stage capitalism? Sign me up please! Can I stay for longer, like 6 months? A year? Five??? Please?!?!

I'd wager a Switzerland jail is probably better to be in than an american maximum security prison. Not saying I'm super excited to go to jail, just providing context. Google Switzerland or Norway jail.
