Some faculty, staff, and students at Fairfield University will be spending some time behind bars in an effort to raise money for a good cause during the school's annual Jail N' Bail fundraiser to benefit Special Olympics Connecticut. The event will take place on Wednesday, April 27 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the traffic circle outside the Barone Campus Center. The Jail N' Bail event is a campus-wide effort spearheaded by law enforcement officers and students at Fairfield University.
People on and off campus are invited to fill out a Jail N' Bail warrant - for the price of $5 - to have someone on campus arrested. Off-duty public safety officers will volunteer their time to "arrest" the person named in the warrant and bring them before a judge where bail will be set at $50 or higher. The arrested person is then placed in a makeshift jail cell where they may use phones to call colleagues, friends, and family to raise money for their "bail," all of which benefits Special Olympics CT. You can make donations or purchase warrants at www.fairfieldjailnbail.com.
