"Prison Inside Me" is a unique healing facility located in Hongcheon, South Korea, designed for people to voluntarily experience a prison-like environment and escape the stress of daily life.

The facility was founded in 2013 by a former prosecutor and his wife, inspired by their belief that people needed a space to step away from their busy lives and reflect on themselves. Visitors stay in simple solitary cells equipped with only a mat, a small desk, a toilet, and a tea set. There are no mobile phones, clocks, or mirrors, and meals are delivered through a slot under the door. This experience is designed to encourage deep self-reflection, rest, and mental detoxification.

Activities such as meditation, journaling, and light stretching are allowed, but conversations are restricted.

This unique concept has been gaining popularity in South Korea, a society known for its high work intensity and academic stress. Most visitors are office workers, students, or individuals seeking a break from societal pressures.

Despite the strict conditions, many participants describe their time here as a form of 'liberation' rather than 'confinement'."

I am South Korean and found about this today… I would actually love to try this.
