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.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
