Remember When?
Daily Press file photo Over 60 “prisoners” kept nine phones busy throughout the day on Feb. 17, 1987, looking for friends to bail them out of the March of Dimes mock jail in the Delta Plaza Shopping Mall. Together they solicited over $8,000 in pledges. Each prisoner was arrested on various trumped up charges — sometimes framed by coworkers, transported to the jail, and held for an hour or until each gathered their fine in pledges to March of Dimes. The three-day fundraiser featured two judges per day who levied fines from $25 to $300 on the prisoners.
