Can you imagine your favourite influencers landing in a real prison, with no smartphones, no luxuries and no contact with the outside world? “Skazani na Bartoszyce”, also known as “Eksperyment: Odsiadka”, is Canal+ Original’s new reality show, and it is already generating huge excitement. The premiere is fast approaching, on 3 December 2025.
What Is "Skazani na Bartoszyce"? Programme Overview and Plot
“Skazani na Bartoszyce” is a reality show inspired by the famous Zimbardo experiment, but in an entertainment version rather than a scientific one. A group of popular influencers and celebrities is locked in a prison in Bartoszyce, where they must face the harsh conditions of prison life. No phones, squalid cells, company of real criminals, poor meals and humiliating searches – all of this awaits the participants.
The programme aims to show how people accustomed to the glare of flashbulbs and social media cope in extreme conditions. As Canal+ stresses, it is a “brilliant” concept for fans who want to see their idols in action, but also a “diabolical” one for haters waiting for them to stumble. The question is: who will crack first? The experiment tests mental and physical endurance, and a camera records everything – even in the cells!
The plot focuses on everyday challenges: interactions with inmates, guards and each other. It is not only entertainment but also a look at Poland’s penitentiary system, with a touch of social commentary.
Who Are the Participants? Celebrities Heading Behind Bars
Seven brave (or crazy?) celebrities take part in “Eksperyment: Odsiadka”. They are:
- Gimper: A popular YouTuber known for gaming content and humour.
- Jasper: An influencer with a large following on TikTok and Instagram.
- Stifler: A creator of controversial material who is sure to bring plenty of drama.
- Mini Majk: A YouTuber specialising in challenges and pranks.

- Jakub Rzeźniczak: A former footballer known for his sporting career and private life.
- Zygmunt Chajzer: A television veteran representing the older generation – he drew the “Zonk in a striped uniform”!
This mix of generations and personalities promises sparks – from funny moments to serious conflicts. Each of them has their fans and critics, which only fuels the interest.

Reviews and Opinions – What Viewers and Critics Say
Although the programme has not yet premiered (as of 25 November 2025), the buzz online is huge. On forums and social media, fans speculate about who will last the longest. The inspiration from the Zimbardo experiment sparks debate about ethics – is it entertainment, or too far-reaching a test? Similar productions, such as “Skazana” (a fictional series about a women’s prison), earned high marks for authenticity, so expectations are high.
Online, comparisons appear to other reality shows, e.g. “Big Brother”, but with a prison twist. Critics praise Canal+ for a bold concept that may attract a young audience. If you like “Survivor” or “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”, “Skazani na Bartoszyce” may be the hit of the season.
