3CR Community Radio’s Beyond the Bars project began in 2002 and continues to present live radio shows during NAIDOC Week each year. Over the decades the radio shows have shared the mic with hundreds of First Nations inmates throughout Victoria, giving them a chance to share their stories, songs, shout outs, poems and opinions across the airwaves.
Listen to Beyond the Bars in 2024 to hear from the men and women across six Victorian prisons each day across NAIDOC Week 8-12 July. We'll be live on the radio at 3CR 855AM.

The Torch is an organisation that assists incarcerated Indigenous artists to reconnect with culture and produce art. The torch supports hundreds of incarcerated artists, helping to promote and sell their artwork. This edition of About Time includes several beautiful artworks purchased from the Torch.
Since 2011, The Torch has been providing art, cultural and arts industry support to Indigenous offenders and ex-offenders in Victoria through its Indigenous Arts in Prisons and Community program.
About Time Media acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands across Australia and particularly acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, traditional owners of the land on which About Time Media is based.
We acknowledge the continuing impacts of the criminal legal system on First Nations people, including disproportionate rates of incarceration and deaths in custody, which remain a national shame.
We pay deep respect to Elders past and present, and all families of those who have lost loved ones in prison.
