To About Time,
My name is Kerrin, currently in Marngoneet. I have a couple of great ideas that really should be implemented in Australian prisons, even worldwide and they are:
A few years back, I wanted to give blood but wasn’t able to as I was a cigarette smoker. In prison I am a non-smoker, healthy drug-free ie. a perfect candidate to give blood. What if there was a way for prisoners to give blood, what if for say one day remission off our sentences. I would think that 90% of prisoners would definitely sign up for such a structure. I’d think that amongst us we’d have every blood type available. It’d benefit everyone involved, we’d be saving lives, giving back to the community, there would be no blood shortages ever again and we’d only be asking for one day in return off our sentences. What a great idea, why isn’t this implemented yet? I think it’s an ingenious idea, it’ll look good for prisoners in court or for parole. We are all healthy, non-smoking and it could be a game changer. We could be saving lives everywhere and I believe we could fill them blood banks everywhere.
Look at the bare roofs across our jails, put some solar panels on all of them and turn them all into power stations, effectively reducing power bills everywhere! Prisoners don’t have access to any prison roof, it only makes sense to catch all that sun and if water is an issue, even catch the rain. Imagine all the power that could be put back into the grid.
That’s all from me for now, I don’t understand how nobody has thought of these ideas yet.
Regards,
Kerrin
P.S. This paper is getting better with every edition. On behalf of prisoners everywhere, thank you.

When I paint, I'm not in prison anymore. I'm lost for hours in my artwork.
I’d think there are a lot of inmates looking for someone to talk to, for some people it might help with the healing process.
Since having my first ever grandson nearly 3 years ago now, it’s made me realise that I not only want to change, but I need to do it not only for myself but for my family.
My name is Jean. I am a wiry spitfire, 65 years young, and incarcerated for the past 24 years with a L.W.O.P. (Life Without Parole) sentence.
