Singapore’s Prison island on Pulau Senang was an experiment in 1960 that was ahead of its time, and attracted global attention for all the right reasons. The first 3 years were billed as a success, until an uprising led to deadly riots that saw 4 people killed and 18 people sentenced to be hanged for murder. We cover the bare facts, but also look into the factors that led up to the experiment, the people involved, and whether it was a bad idea to begin with or just a bad outcome.

Tell You First is an original podcast produced by Ministry of Funny (@ministryoffunny) and brought to you by Mediacorp.
