This South Korean High School Looks Like A Prison

For the past few years, Seongsu High School has been compared to one thing online: a maximum security facility. If you’ve never been to prison, perhaps you’ve seen images of it in movies.

Here are scenes from iconic inmate movies:

The high school, which is located in the city of Chuncheon, does certainly resemble a prison. Here, have a look:

The sure look somewhat similar!

Below, you can see more photos of the school from the past few years:
