The award winning Whitelion Melbourne Bail Out is entering its 8th year in 2013 and it is set to be EVEN bigger, badder and better than ever! The iconic event will take place on Friday 31st May 2013 at the notorious Old Melbourne Gaol - City Watch House.
The experience is dramatic in nature with dozens of actors playing theatrical roles to give inmates an interactive experience.
The experience exposes inmates to life on the inside with activities 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 Old Magistrate's Court before being sentenced to some cell time with their gang or other solitary inmates. A minimum of $1,000 (per person) must be raised to secure release.
Upon release, inmates will be escorted to the Parole Party to celebrate with friends, family and colleagues.
136 executions by hanging took place in the Gaol, including the famous bushranger Ned Kelly, the prison was often overcrowded and an extremely dark and difficult place for any inmate...Are you up for the challenge in 2013? REGISTER NOW!
Or, if you have a friend, relative, colleague, boss or spouse that you'd like to see locked up, contact julia.lamb@whitelion.asn.au or 03 8354 0820 - hurry, limited number of cells available!
