A couple of my friends and I want to spend a night (maybe even a night and a day) in a jail just to see what its like. It may seem like a bit of a crazy idea but we just want to understand what life is like for criminals. But will we probably be turned away or do you think we will be allowed this little "experiment"?

not sure. you can always get drunk, be sure to be close to a police station so you don't have to drive, and approach some officers. they'll probably lock you up for the night.

are you off your rocker? what in the hell would you want to spend anytime in jail for? they will not put you in a cell with real criminals, there are programs for troubled youth where they go to the pen and the criminals scare the crap out of them, I am sure the cops would see you as a prime candidate for one of these 'experiments'. But let me tell you I know a few people who have spent time in various stages of the penal system. you don't want to go there. find a new hobby/obsession.

i don't think so. their are some teen intervention programs that send troubled kids to prison for a night just so that they see what is in store for them if their behavior continues. they are always protected by the guards so that no inmate causes them any harm. their are too many things that could go wrong if they let you become an inmate for a day. if it was allowed you would never know what it is really like because you would always be protected and you will always know that you can walk out when you want. it's the mind set that you will never be able to achieve unless you are really incarcerated.

No, but they'll probably let them spend the night in a mental hospital.

If you works for Newspaper, probably you would have chances with some respect.
