'So You've Been Wrongfully Sentenced To Life' Escape Room Premiers In State That Routinely Wrongfully Sentences People To Life

Cruel and unusual enjoyment.

The state of Georgia wrongfully convicts people. Like… all the damn time. There’s a song about wrongfully convicting people in Georgia.

So when the Cobb County government tried to raise some money with an escape room, they decided to eschew Haunted House or Museum Heist and jump right to something relatable to Georgians like “being wrongfully sent to prison.”

Zihuatanejo is lovely this time of year.

At least they didn’t go with “you’ve been denied the right to vote because… you know.”
