THERE is a peculiar fashion in Britain for raising money for charity by 'breaking out' of prisons and seeing how far you can get without spending any money.

We've received a letter from a woman called Sharyn Langford who works as a civilian for the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary.

She intends to take part in a 'jailbreak' from Dartmoor high security prison with a friend called Muriel Fisher to raise money for victims of cerebral palsy.

The further she manages to get, dressed in prison overalls, the more cash she receives from those sponsoring her.

In previous years she claims to have got as far as Paris, New York, Toronto and Ravaniemi, Finland, inside the Arctic Circle without spending any cash.

She supports this with press clippings.
