FORT LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS — MTV has announced that its latest season of its venerable "Real World" reality television series will be filmed within the halls of the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
Now in its 87th season, the show will follow the antics of four inmates incarcerated at Fort Leavenworth: convicted Wiki-leaker Bradley "Chelsea" Manning, Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, Robert Bales, who killed 16 Afghan civilians in a drunken shooting spree; and Jeffery Sinclair, a U.S. Army general on trial for sexual assault charges who the producers expect to be there very soon.
Overlooking the mighty Missouri River, Fort Leavenworth follows in the footsteps of many scenic locales such as Sydney, Australia, Las Vegas, Nev., and St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands.
"This is the story of four strangers, picked to live in a cell, work together, and have their lives taped. This is what happens when people stop being soldiers and start being real convicted felons," said show's creator Jonathan Murray.
