Take A Virtual Prison Tour

from the why-that-seems-positively-lovely dept

Apparently too many prisoners in the UK were showing up for their first day at prison confused and unsure of what the process was, or what prison life would be like. Along come some webheads to the rescue. The UK prison system has launched an online virtual tour of prison life. It's not designed to be for entertainment, but for educational purposes for those about to enter the prison system. Of course, if you go through the actual tour, they seem to give off this sense that prisons are a nice, happy place (so many smiling faces!) - which might not be the impression they want to be giving.

    latest example:

    "Along comes some webheads to the rescue"

    should read, "Along come some webheads to the rescue"

    See the difference?

    I do my best. When people find typos they generally alert me privately and I fix them.

    You've never made a typo in your life?

    WOW ! It looks just like the Windows Media Player Prison Skin ! I can't WAIT to go to jail now that I've been schooled interactively. I missed the flash screen of Bubba anal raping his cell mate ... I wonder where that part was ?
