Going to Jail for Charity…

Boise State Public Radio reports on a new fundraising strategy which I sincerely hope does not become more popular:

BOISE, ID (idaho) – A lot of people in Boise workplaces were carted off to “jail” today. There they’ll spend their incarceration calling friends and asking them to donate bail money, in this case the money goes to the Muscular dystrophy Association. Boise State Public Radio’s own computer expert Rick Dorey was hauled off to jail this morning.

Honestly, trivializing the experience of incarceration in this country is a regular occurrence.
