Visitors to Sangareddy in the Indian state of Telangana will find an unusual jail. The colonial-era District Central Jail in Sangareddy is no longer an actual prison - it's a museum that's become a tourist attraction and even a therapy destination for visitors, who can now gain a 24-hour first-hand experience of prison life, or just cut themselves off from the world, by paying a fee of 500 rupees, or about $7.50, for a night's stay. Paying visitors receive prison uniforms, a steel meal plate, a mug, bedding, and other necessities of prison life before being led away by an officer to their cell in the guest prison, where they will languish for the rest of their 24-hour sentence. During their confinement, the guest 'prisoners' are allowed to plant saplings and clean their barracks. The 220-year-old prison, which has since been converted in to a museum, offers this unusual new service, called 'Feel the Jail', to drive interest and traffic to their doors. People have many of their own reasons for feeling the jail, from simply experiencing the novelty to serious therapy time away from the distracting pull of the digital world. Would you ever willingly choose to be an inmate for 24 hours at the Sangareddy District Jail?
The futuristic Ruriden columbarium in Tokyo's Shinjuku houses 2,046 illuminated glass Buddha altars corresponding to drawers storing ashes of the deceased, with progressive head monk Yajima Taijun explaining the high-tech temple, Wednesday. An IC card allows the owner of the altar containing the ashes to access the building and light up the corresponding statue. Ashes are stored for 33 years before being buried below the Ruriden.
