The cheapest room and board in Jefferson City, Missouri，over the weekend was at the county(县)jail(监狱)，and 170 people gladly checked in．Cole County charged$30 a night for anyone who volunteered to go behind bars on Friday or Saturday night SO officials could give the new jail a test run before it opened for real this week．People from three states spent the night at the jail，including some lawyers and a couple celebrating their first anniversary．
“It was something they could experience without having to get a criminal record，”Cole County Sheriff(治安官)Greg White said．“They spent the night and gained all understanding that they would not want to ever do this again．”
Jailers tried to give the citizens the full experience．They were told to give up their jewelry, cell phones，and other personal belongings．They were booked and photographed and led into the jail commons．They could keep their cell doors open，but that trapped feeling was still there because the outer room doors were locked，said Bob Watson，60，a reporter for the Jefferson City News-Tribune who spent Friday night at the jail. “While it was not a true copy of jail，you got some sense of what it's like to hear that door lock behind you，”Watson said．
Two other feelings were boredom and a lack of choice，illustrated by the television being left on one channel and drowned out anyway by everybody talking．
Bed was a steel bunk with a thin mattress(垫)。Overhead，a 40-watt bulb stayed 1it through the night in each cell．Handy for guards to see inmates，but not helpful to good sleep．How about the food? Dinner Friday night included cheesy pasta with turkey bits and coffee cake．“I wouldn’t pay for it in a restaurant，but you won’t die trying to eat it，”Watson said．
