219-Year-Old Jail Becomes Museum-Cum-Hotel, Allows You To Spend A Night For INR 500

A lot of us will be horrified by the very idea of spending a night in jail - stale food, reeking rooms, and a down-at-heel setting for almost everything. We¡¯ve always associated life-in-jail as something extremely wild and impetuous. Largely all thanks to Bollywood. But if you've ever wondered what jail life is actually like and are still curious about it, the Medak Jail in Telangana has just the right thing for you.
