About Time Magazine,
I appreciate seeing my artwork in the recent edition of the Magazine :) Looks great. Thank you so much. My artist name is Aalayah and I am currently serving a sentence at DPFC. I sell my artwork via The Torch for Victorian prisoners, where my work can be found under my artist name Aalyah. It was such a pleasant surprise to see it. I will keep in touch as I am very eager to write some papers on the lack of housing available for women who go out on parole in Victoria. This is currently an issue I am facing and I would like to call it out and have it published. I was due for parole in March, and my parole is approved but there is no housing for me to go to. It’s amazing how easily they can put me in jail and take away my house, cars, and life then not be held responsible to release me with the basic human necessities I need to live. If you could send me some information in regards to women’s housing after prison, so I can start to put together a paper. Anything at all would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Kelly, DPFC

On 1 November 2025, QCS introduced a new pricing model: 20 cents per minute for all calls, mobile or local. A call that once cost 30 cents for 15 minutes now costs $3 – a ten-times increase.
I have been incarcerated for 22 months of a four-year sentence in Queensland jails. This poem is about my own situation.
Reading other prisoner’s stories inspired me to keep my head up and keep going now four months in, thank you all who share your stories and words of wisdom.
I moved units about a month ago and we feed some stray cats here. One even let me pat her last night! It's been over a year since I've patted an animal, so you can imagine how excited I was!
