Alex Saunders bought an old prison van on Ebay for £3000 (US $ 5,034 ). It originally had six holding cells, lockable cell doors, and peep holes for the security guards. He spent 18 months and another £4000 (US $6,700 ) fixing it up. Alex installed everything himself including bunk beds, kitchen, and the heating and water system. **Alex plans on doing lots of traveling with his wife and two children.**
**Alex said, “It was pretty grim when I first went in there, it smelled like a mixture of blood and old soup which had been spilled everywhere.” He gutted the van of the cells and starting measuring first.** [](http://www.lifebuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/article-2607648-1D2CA33100000578-655_964x7111.jpg)
