Australia currently has around 40,000 adults in custody across the country; of those, 93% are male and 7% female. Of the many programs available to prisoners, those in the creative arts are credited with having a positive impact on rehabilitation and post-release outcomes.
‘The Artists on the Inside exhibition helps create a space for inclusion and social connection and gives the public a unique insight into the lives of prisoners and the issues many face,’ says SA Correctional Services Minister Joe Szakacs.
