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.

Being in a space that does not acknowledge, respond to or understand you can be deeply challenging.
It all has a history. So just take a second to think on how old that could be and where it came from or even who or how it could have got there.
