Can you throw a teammate in the brig to get them aboard the ship faster?

I'm watching some streamers/youtubers play Sea of Thieves, and I'm wondering something:

If a team mate falls off the ship, or is far away on an island; could you vote him into the brig then vote him out to teleport him to the ship (instead of waiting for him to make his way to the ship)?

Would voting a player of the crew into the brig teleport him aboard, or are there limitations to the vote into the brig system that would prevent this from working?

Solution 1:

This would work in theory, but there is a minimum amount of time a crew member must be in the brig before they can be removed.

While I'm not certain on the length of time required (best guess is 2-3 minutes), my experience is that the mermaid/merman appears sooner than the brig timer expires.
