Would you ever take part in one of those Jail and Bail events to raise money for charity?

Friend sent me this link, and is interested in it and wanted me to volunteer for it also

I’m fine with fundraisers, normally, but this uses backhand methods to force people to give money.


“If you don’t help give money, I’ll be stuck here, and then everyone will know it was you…”


Don’t put people in a position where they feel guilted into providing funds

[libbieberry]

I wasn't really sure about the whole thing tbh, was really just looking for other opinions

[RebeccaBI2000]

One of my jobs did this every year. One person enjoyed being arrested by the officers. Lol

[libbieberry]

Dont get me wrong bit unsure bout the whole thing, though at same time sure it would be an experience also. My friend seems to want to do it

[RebeccaBI2000]

It is a fun way to do a fund raiser at your company

[libbieberry]

This one wouldn't be involving the company I work for, this one would be just a random one to sign up for

We used to do the sort of opposite we played Jail break.

see how far you could get from outside a prison.

lots of hitchhiking and persuading people to give you stuff for free.

we had 2 guys get to Tenerife without passports lol

Seems seedy.

[libbieberry]

In what sense?

[Opinion Owner]

The underhanded nature of coercing people to give money to get their loved ones out of a wrongful imprisonment.

[Opinion Owner]

What happens if they don't raise enough money?

[libbieberry]

That was one thing I had been wondering too

[Opinion Owner]

Definitely wouldn't agree to it before you find out.

[libbieberry]

Though apparently you raise funds in advance and you'll be given access to a phone to make up for any shortfall on the day, unsure about it all anyway though

[Brandihunny4041]

@libbieberry yes I would

[Anonymous]

No thanks, lol.
