Ever wanted to spend a night in jail without the trouble of being handcuffed and those pesky charges? Now, thanks to the new jail construction in Jefferson City, you can.

The new jail opens for business next month and to celebrate, they're offering a one-night stay in the new building, complete with dinner breakfast and your own private cell. The package costs $30 and includes a booking photo and Cole County Jail t-shirt.
