A Northland musician, a TV fishing star, a politician and a district councillor are all facing jail later this month.
The difference this time is that it will depend on the public as to whether - or how soon - they get out.
Blue Light Kerikeri, a police charity for youth, plans to imprison singer/actor Troy Kingi, Graeme Sinclair of the popular TV show Gone Fishin', and Labour candidate Willow-Jean Prime as a fundraising stunt on May 23.
They will be joined by district councillor Di Maxwell and community board member/well-known greenie Marty Robinson in a makeshift, yet secure, jail outside The Warehouse in Waipapa.
The public will be able to aid their release by donating to a bail fund. The jailer, youth aid Constable Rob Cameron of Kerikeri police, may also be open to requests to lock them up for longer.
