Barristers desperately seeking bail

16/04/2012

Philip Strickland SC, Ertunc Ozen and�Sarah Bradley�will spend the night�of** Friday, 11 May **in a Sydney juvenile detention centre.�With generous support from members of the bench and bar, they have raised more than $5,000�for Whitelion, an organisation working with Juvenile Justice to secure opportunities for young people involved in the youth justice system.��

This is a unique opportunity to step into the shoes of a young person that has been disconnected from our community due to abuse and neglect, drug addiction and poverty.�They must ‘raise’ bail to secure their ‘release’.��Their bail is set at $3,000.�They will� be stripped of possessions, fingerprinted, photographed and subjected to interrogation.�They will also appear before a magistrate in a mock court proceeding before being sentenced to�cell time.�Attorney General Greg Smith will be pardoning�their release the next day.

Check out their inmate profile page. To post bail, they click on the BAIL ME OUT icon. All funds go to Whitelion (a non-for-profit charity).
