Prison? Me? No Way!

So today's going to be a little wierd. Why? Well to start with we need some background. Warwickshire believes in stopping people from committing crimes when possible, especially young people. So the emergency and justice services run "Prison? Me? No Way!" a day of workshops for year 9 students in schools across the county to dissuade them from committing crimes of any kind. So far so good. These days begin with a fake car crash on the school playground during which one of the occupants dies, leading to the driver being arrested, out on trial and convicted for causing death by dangerous driving. All fine so far. For our school, "Prison? Me? No Way!" is today. Ok. I'm the one who dies in the car.

My morning is going to consist of being soaked in fake blood, sitting in a broken car, having glass smashed over my face, the door cut off with a mechanical saw right next to my leg, being pulled out of the car by a fireman and put in a bodybag for twenty minutes or so. Last year it was a used body bag. Well, a stained one at any rate. It was quite fun last year, and hopefully will be again. Fingers crossed...
