How does Jail-N-Bail work?
A snitch contacts the Cindi's Angels requesting the arrest of a boss, co-worker, friend, relative or other person on a "trumped-up charge". Examples of such charges may include theft of office pens, failing to yield at the end of a sentence and trafficking caffeine.
When the arrest is a surprise, the snitch is encouraged to check that the jailbird's calendar is clear.
Jailbirds are requested to voluntarily turn themselves in, where the jailbird appears before a volunteer judge to answer to the "trumped-up charge". The judge sets bail and sentences the jailbird to serve time to try to raise the bail. The jailbird is allowed to use their cell phone so the jailbird can call family members, co-workers, friends, neighbors and acquaintances in order to raise bail.
At the time of their arrest, jailbirds should be reminded to bring their “little black book” so they will have their personal contact listing in order to make calling easier.
Jailbirds can also be arrested as a team, better known as a “chain gang”. Friends, family members and co-workers are thrown in jail together and sentenced to raise bail as a group. Chain gangs consist of at least 3 members.

Types of Jail-N-Bail arrests
What is the difference between a self-arrest and a nominated arrest?
A self-arrest occurs when a jailbird arranges his or her own arrest. This gives the jailbird several days or weeks before the event to collect pledges and raise bail.
A nominated arrest happens when a snitch nominates someone, such as a friend, co-worker or relative, to be arrested for a good cause. Nominated Jailbirds will receive a warrant for their arrest on their facebook wall.
As with individual jailbirds, chain gangs can arrange their own arrest or the arrest can be a surprise.
As a snitch, how do I make the experience positive for the jailbird and help avoid any unpleasant surprises?
You should assist in the Jail-N-Bail fun by taking the following precautions before your jailbird's arrest:
- Check that charges against the jailbird are fun-spirited and not authentic-sounding.
- Collect pledges on behalf of the jailbird from co-workers and friends.
- Meet the sheriffs to turn in their Application for Warrant.
- Tell the jailbird, that you have filled out the Applications, and make sure they are available for turn in
What are some of the sample charges jailbirds can face?
