In Sydney in May 2024, Damien Linnane (editor of the prison magazine Paper Chained) held an exhibition of art by people in prison around the world. Linnane managed to obtain over 100 artworks from currently and formerly incarcerated people in eight different countries. These ranged from embroidery works from a women’s prison in Mexico, to sculptures made out of toilet paper from an artist in Queensland. The public feedback was incredible. Money from sold works was also sent back to the artists, to encourage further creativity in custody. Some of the images from the exhibition are reprinted here.

King 810: Music for Hard Times
By Stacey Stokes
King 810, a nu metal band from the USA, toured Australia in March. I went, and a lot of other criminals went too. There was even a few reintegration officers spotted in the crowd. Simply because, they strike a chord… with those who have lived hardship.
