The Artesia Lock-Up will be at The Wellhead Restaurant and Pub at noon Thursday. The volunteer will ask family, friends, and coworkers for bail money immediately after signing up.
They can create their own webpage, or photocopy a “WANTED” letter to family and friends in order to raise sufficient funds. On the day of the event, the volunteers bring their “Bail Log” (a record of how much money they raised) with them to the “Lock-Up,” along with the cash/checks and credit card contributions. … For the rest of the story, subscribe in print and on the web.
