The Prison Inside Me Hotel is located in Hongcheon, about 80 km northeast of Seoul (South Korea). No spa, no fancy cuisine , the hotel offers guests the experience of living like a real prisoner.
The hotel was founded by former lawyer Kwon Yong-Seok and his wife in 2013. After years of working 100-hour weeks and often falling into a state of exhaustion, Mr. Kwon realized he didn't know how to rest, so he decided to build a place of "voluntary detention" to give others the opportunity to stop and look deeply into themselves.
He invested about 2 billion won (more than 36 billion VND) to build a "mental prison" where people can slow down.
For a price of more than 3 million VND, visitors will be put in a "prison cell" with a mat on the floor, a small writing desk, a private toilet and meals passed through the door. No mirrors, no time, no communication, all activities here are designed to isolate visitors from the outside world and focus inward.
Additionally, during their stay, "prisoners" at Prison Inside Me are kept to a minimum in terms of communication with others. Visitors are encouraged to meditate, write in journals, and practice light yoga. Many call it a form of "digital detox" or "modern monastery."
Many travelers, mostly South Koreans, who seek a “digital detox” experience say they find the hotel relaxing and enjoyable. For them, it’s a place to temporarily escape the pressures of work and society and find peace – similar to a retreat in a monastery.
A tourist after the experience said he felt peace in his soul after many years, truly "nothing to do, no one to talk to".
Without advertising, the Prison Inside Me hotel still regularly welcomes people who want to "escape freedom", and then return to daily life with a lighter spirit.
