TASSIE CONVICTS
For the first year the Tassie Convicts will no longer embark on the perilous journey across Bass Strait, as 2013 will showcase the first Hobart Bail Out to be held at the Hobart Penitentiary on Friday 10th May 2013.
The loyal felons from Tasmania have participated in all seven Melbourne Bail Outs.
The Experience
The Hobart Bail Out experience is dramatic in nature with dozens of actors, comedians and volunteers playing various theatrical roles to give inmates an interactive experience.
The experience exposes inmates to life on the inside with experiences that simulate prison life. Upon arrival, inmates will be stripped of possessions, fingerprinted, photographed and shunned into the main exercise yard where they will be fed prison gruel. Inmates will face a judiciary and have their cases heard in the court before being sentenced to some cell time. Tassie Convicts must raise a minimum of $1,000 (per person) to secure their release.
Upon release, inmates will be escorted to the Cocktail Party to celebrate with friends, family and colleagues.
There are a very limited number of spaces available for this inaugural event.
Or, if you would like to be involved, contact barbara.walters@whitelion.asn.au or 0400 855 850.

Worried you may have missed out on Bailing Out in Hobart?
Rest assured, we have a solution for you to still be involved in the inaugural event by choosing;
SUSPENDED SENTENCE.
Due to an overwhelming response the Corporate Gang and Solitary sentences are sold out for Bail Out Hobart, but you can still sign up for a Suspended Sentence! The minimum bail is $250 and you will get the opportunity to step into the shoes of a young person for a shorter period of time. You will be charged, fingerprinted, fed prison gruel and exposed to life on the inside before being released to an exclusive Suspended Sentence parole party before going onto the official Bail Out Cocktail Party.
Please note, only those crims on the serious charges of Corporate Gang and Solitary Sentence will be escorted to the Hobart Penitentiary to face cell time.
