Justice Project Pakistan’s “Caught” is an innovative escape room experience designed to shed light on the complexities of Pakistan’s criminal justice system, particularly concerning the death penalty and custodial torture. Participants assume the role of police recruits tasked with solving a murder case, navigating through interactive puzzles and real-time performances that reveal systemic flaws and ethical dilemmas. Inspired by real-life cases, such as that of Aftab Bahadur, a juvenile executed in 2015, the experience aims to foster empathy and advocate for meaningful reforms in the justice system.

Justice Project Pakistan’s Reimagining Justice campaign is a pioneering national effort to shift Pakistan’s drug policy away from punishment and toward public health, human rights, and rehabilitation.
