Tear It Down & Virtual Guantanamo
Two virtual representations of Guantanamo Bay prison have been launched, one with the specific goal of encouraging the U.S. government to close the real prison and the other to encourage public discourse. Both projects are engaging examples of virtual advocacy, with one creating a virtual representation of the detention center in the virtual world Second Life and the other, a flash-based web site that has a video game quality to it.

First World War Poetry Digital Archive
This immersive experience attempts to demonstrate how effective it can be to expose items from a research project (the First World War Poetry Digital Archive) in its context. You can see items from the collection, hear interviews with veterans, and watch contemporary film footage as you explore the area - a training camp, communication trench, a casualty clearing station, a front-line trench - as well as listen to readings of the poetry.

In For Life: Doing Time in SL
VERY MATURE
This sim is quite possibly over the top. I did not go in, but i did skim the manual. Only for the truly brave.
Welcome to In For Life prison and correctional system!
In for Life is a prison which is based on an immersive set of role-play rules, the most important one is that someone can only become a prisoner if they are sentenced in the In For Life (IFL) court. In order to end up in the court, they need to be accused of some "crime", disobedience etc. Be aware that the accusation needs to be solid otherwise the appointed IFL judge might let the accused go. If an accused is acquitted then they cannot be accused of the same violation again.

The Prisoners' Lounge
MATURE

Cotton's Class _ The Crater at Burning Life - Denio
One of the best outcomes of Burning Life was the number of educators & students who used the Crater as an entry to a world they would not have normally experienced.
This is a photo of a faculty member, Cotton Dover, speaking with her students while standing at Feathers Boa's robot installation next to the Crater.
