THE ADELAIDE BAIL OUT
You'd never imagine that the genteel city of Adelaide had a spooky side, but venture five minutes from the CBD and get ready for a spine-tingling experience at The Adelaide Gaol.
The old building, one of South Australia's premier heritage sites, is the venue for the inaugural Adelaide Bail Out on Friday 16th August 2013.
The 19th century-architecture, original cell-blocks, the hanging tower, gallows, yards and prisoner graves create the perfect setting for a truly unique experience.
The Experience
The experience is dramatic in nature with dozens of actors playing various theatrical roles.
As an inmate, you will experience what it is like to be incarcerated, from being fingerprinted, photographed and subjected to interrogation. You will appear before a Magistrate and be sentenced to some cell time with your gang or other solitary inmates. A minimum of $1,000 (per person) must be raised to secure release.
Inmates will hear about, and maybe even see or feel, the ghost of the Gaol's first governor, William Baker Ashton. People say they hear very heavy footsteps and the sound of furniture being moved...
300,000 prisoners were incarcerated at the Gaol over a period of 147 years - do you dare to walk in their footsteps? REGISTER NOW!
Or, if you have a friend, relative, colleague, boss or spouse that you'd like to see locked up, contact tania.king@whitelion.asn.au or 0411 771 078.
