See inside the prisons that thousands of South Koreans are sending THEMSELVES to

For South Koreans, seeking an escape from the trappings of everyday life, a 24-hour fake prison is on hand to provide them with a "sense of freedom".



Named ‘The Prison Inside Me’, the unconventional getaway charges refuge seekers £70 ($90) to live in solitary confinement for 24-hours.



Since its opening in 2013, the facility - located in Hongcheon - has played host to more than 2000 stressed workers and students seeking an escape from the country’s notoriously demanding academic and working culture.



Inside the ‘prison’ walls there’s a complete ban on any kind of communication, including mobile phones, clocks, and even mirrors.
