Nostalgia 1995: Falkirk woman’s arresting way to raise cash for charity

Sarah, a director of The Business in Falkirk, was imprisoned as part of the Fund’s ‘‘Jail in Bail’’ fundraising event and raised £350.

Along with her 12 fellow jailbirds they succeeded in raising bail to the tune of 8339 in pledges for the charity’s Stirling based Scottish centre.

Each prisoner was ‘‘arrested’’ at their office or workplace, driven to ‘‘jail’’ at the Golden Lion Hotel in Stirling, dressed in convict’s outfits and given a mobile phone.

They then had two hours to get bail pledges from friends and colleagues to secure their release.
