Jailbreaks were demonstrations staged by members of Weatherman in an effort to recruit high school and community college students to join their movement. The institution of school was specifically identified in the initial Weatherman statement as an oppressor of the youth of America.[1]
Leading up to the Days of Rage event that was to take place on October 8-11, 1969, the Seattle Weatherman collective used different tactics and methods of recruiting individuals to join them in Chicago. These demonstrations were intended to recruit high school students to join them at the Days of Rage and convince them to join the Weatherman.[2].
A typical demonstration consisted of eight members of the collective would go on each of the high school attacks.
