Let's say a hypothetical person has on his/her bucket list to experience first-hand what prison feels like. He/she knows he/she can watch documentaries, read accounts, but still believes the best way to understand is to go through it.

What kind of crimes, hypothetically, can he/she commit such that:

1. The sentencing will be quick
2. It will be roughly a week to two, not exceed two weeks
3. The impact on his/her future freedom is minimal (mainly relating to the ability to travel overseas)? He/she is self-employed so the criminal record is not a concern for practical concerns.

As much as it may sound like a troll, this is 100% a genuine question, and I genuinely appreciate all replies. Thank you.

There is a particular policy in Singapore that I personally feel is gender discriminatory, namely caning in judicial and school contexts. Apart from that, I don't think caning solves the root cause of wrongdoing, inflicts physical and possibly psychological harm which is highly criticised by a reputable human rights organisation, Amnesty International. I have created a petition to call for its abolition so you can check out:
