The world's foremost televised human zoo which commonly features a number of disturbed and/or disturbing people.

Captive subjects are dehumanised through a number of degrading and humiliating tasks until they reach an animal-like state.

Inmates have been known to adopt animal-like behaviour patterns as they aggressively confront other inmates and reach a high level of sexual activity.

The television audience is able to release their chosen inmate on a weekly basis through a public vote.
