Send a Christmas or Holiday Message

Ike Curtis

Send a Christmas or Holiday Message to a Loved One in Prison!

Christmas and the holiday period can be an extremely isolating time for people in prison around Australia

For our special December edition, About Time wants to print as many messages to incarcerated people from loved ones on the outside.

These letters can be to an individual in any prison in Australia, or a more general message of support to those in prison during this hard time.

We are accepting messages, or a drawing or poetry, from anybody in the community from now until 10 November and will be printing as many as possible in the December edition, which will be distributed to prisons in all states and territories except for the Northern Territory before Christmas.

Deadline:

10th of November 2025

Words:

200 (maximum)

Name:

You can include your full name and the first name of your loved one in prison, if you want, or nicknames instead. You can also include a piece of poetry or artwork. We will print as many as possible.

The message may be edited for length.
