Malaysian prison hotel seeks tourists

by admin on September 5th, 2005


A Malaysian prison is offering adventurous travellers the chance to experience the joys of prison life, including the food and lack of toilets.

The ABC reports that Johor Baru prison, Malaysia’s oldest, has been turned into a visitor’s centre and is offering an overnight package for 50 ringgit ($17).

But so far there have not been any takers.

“Each visitor will be given a cell with a mattress and a blanket but no pillow, and they will eat prison food,” Abdul Wahab Kassim, a senior prison department official, told the New Straits Times newspaper.

He said the overnight stays would “give an insight into prison life”.

Asked why no one had yet tried the deal, he blamed a lack of publicity.
