My name is Steve. I have done 10 years prison time in Long Bay, Grafton, Parramatta, Goulburn, Maitland, Cessnock, Rockhampton, Arthur Gorrie, Borallan, Glen Innes and Silver Water. I got out in 2003 and have remained out ever since.

After being transferred to a minimum security prison with a fully equipped ceramic studio, I was very excited to have the opportunity, and the time, to challenge my skills and creativity.

Congratulations on the launch of About Time. I can only imagine how many obstacles you have navigated to successfully sail the product into Australia’s prisons, and from where I sit it was very warmly received by the inmates, security and medical staff that I share time with.

Congratulations on your new magazine. I have the second edition, and reading through it I discovered what I had not seen. That was the lack of information supplied by Legal Aid for those with very little money who need legal assistance.

Hey there. My name is Sash. Today marks my 9th day in custody since my arrest. I'm here this time for driving whilst disqualified. I've just been sentenced yesterday to 10 months with a 5-month non-parole period.

My name is Shea and I am currently just over 5 years into a 22 year sentence for murder. This is my first (and hopefully last) time coming to prison, and even after half a decade behind bars, I’m still coming to terms with all of the various consequences of the fact.

Hi there, my name is Chris and I sit here, again, in P.P.P. with another sentence, with old feelings of loss or sadness. I just had my 39 year old birthday, again thinking about how many I’ve done being locked up.

I write to extend feedback – re: your monthly paper. I must say that it was with more than the usual measuring spoon of interest that most here @ MRC welcomed its arrival.

Around a month ago, our prison was supplied with several copies of your newspaper in our rec room and they were an instant hit!

Good day, I was glad to come across one of your publications which caught my attention, and I decided to write and inform you that I am an artist who expresses his emotions through Art.
