Get ready to be “locked up”. As a Prisoner you will be charged with a “crime”, arraigned in front of the judge and your bail will be set. You raise your bailmoney by contacting all of your friends, family and acquaintances and having them pledge dollars to keep you in, or get you out of jail. The Keystone Kops are ready to round up prisoners and take them on a “Jail Break” or two. Our Jail & Bail Event marks its 56th year in 2012 and boasts that it is has always been the largest Jail & Bail event in the nation.
