Prison Life of Fools is a South Korean television program that airs on tvN, as the first part of the Amazing Saturday lineup. It stars Lee Soo-geun, Jeong Hyeong-don, Kim Jong-min, Hwang Je-sung, Lee Sang-yeob, Jang Do-yeon, JB (Got7), Seungkwan (Seventeen) and Choi Ye-na (IZ*ONE), with Kim Tae-jin as the main host. The program airs every Saturday at 18:10 (KST) starting from March 16, 2019.
In each episode, the cast and the episode's guest play the Mafia in the setting of a prison. The 10 players each choose their own cells and check the card that is placed in each of the cells, acknowledging himself/herself as a mafia or an innocent without the other players knowing. There are only 3 mafias in each episode. After acknowledgement, they will then split themselves into 2 teams of 5 to play a total of 5 enlightenment activities (games). Voting for the identification of the mafias will happen at the end of each enlightenment activity, and each player can vote for which player he/she thinks is a mafia among the players. The players of the winning team for each enlightenment activity gets an extra vote. The losing team of each enlightenment activity will carry out a penalty based on an expression of a term (either by drawing or movement) by the winning team. The game is over when all 3 mafias are identified.
