Alice was a straight A student and was a total goody two shoes. She wasn't ugly but she certainly wasn't cheerleader material but was generally liked and respected by her peers and teachers at her high school. She lived in a relatively small town on the outskirts of Jackson Mississippi and was a happy child. She wanted to experience everything life had to offer as she thought they all helped you grow as a person.
However at the moment all she was thinking about was how she was struggling in her social studies class and needed a fantastic final essay to bump her up to an A grade. She knew she needed to pull out something special but had no idea what to do.
The final class was only a couple of weeks away when a local judge would hold a bail court in the high school gymnasium and final assignments had to be to do with the police and courts. Then Alice had her great idea. She thought to herself about getting arrested and then writing up a first hand experience what going to jail was like. It was perfect but then the rational side of her brain kicked in and she didn't want a criminal record as that would affect her college choices.
Frustrated she went on to YouTube and found videos of news reporters going to jail and she knew if they could do it then she could do it. Just because she wasn't a member of the press then it shouldn't stop her. So she knew she had to go to jail but not get a criminal record. She approached her social studies teacher with the idea and she was positive but thought it would be a lot to go through just for a grade. She said to speak to the sheriff so Alice dropped him an e-mail.
The next day the sheriff replied and said to come in and meet him to go through exactly what she wanted. So they set up a meeting and the school's resident police liaison officer joined the meeting.
Alice went through exactly what she wanted. She wanted to be arrested on a Friday night and to spend the weekend in jail and be a part of the bail court at the high school on the Monday. After the bail court she wanted to be taken back to jail and then call her mum to bail her out like a normal criminal. She would then be released on the Monday afternoon when her bail was made and do her assignment and go back to school on the Tuesday.
There were two things she wanted more than anything so to experience the real thing -- firstly that no-one in the jail knew she wasn't a real prisoner and secondly that no-one bar her social studies teacher and the principle at the school would know. So she would face the real shame and torment of the other students until after her assignment had been handed in and marked then se would tell everyone.
The sheriff and her teacher were both in agreement that it was a great idea in principle but thought it was going too far. However they didn't have a problem with it apart from no-one at the jail knowing she wasn't a true criminal. They called in Alice's parents and they were not happy but saw the determination on their daughters face to go through with it.
The last issue was what and how was to be arrested. There were only certain crimes in the county that led to no bail until a bail court and they were mostly serious cases. Even though it was all fake Alice didn't want to be arrested for anything violent or serious and also these crimes would not be seen by a bail court at the local high school. These would mostly be for drunks and car crimes and local ladies of the night. The police swept up the prostitutes every weekend and they would all face bail court most Monday's if found. Alice chose this crime as she felt she would get little sympathy from the police and they would treat her more like a proper criminal with that.
She didn't tell everyone just how exciting the idea of being arrested was. She loved the idea of being handcuffed and having her freedom taken away for a short while but she had to keep this silent from everyone else.
So the plan was set. She would stay at school on the Friday and get all her schoolwork for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday out of the way so she wouldn't have to catch up when she was meant to be busy with her social studies assignment. Her mum would come into school and bring in a change of clothes so she could tart herself up and then she would gives all her belongings to her mum and then go and stand outside the school gates and wait for the school's police liaison officer to take her into custody. At this point he would ask one final time if she wanted to go through wit this and if she said yes then he would radio in her crime and she would be held into officers who didn't know her would take her in and her time inside would start.
Alice was so proud of herself and struggled to keep it to herself. Friday came and she went to the library and did all of her school work and then called her mum and she brought in some very cheap tarty clothes she had bought for the occasion and did her make up all slutty. Her mum couldn't believe the transformation and commented that she looked like a real whole. Alice didn't know how to take that but smiled and gave her mum all her work and all her belongings. She was afraid things would get lost in the jail.
