About this episode
When former inmate Daniel Vansetten heard about the idea of a national newspaper, produced for prisoners and by prisoners, he jumped at the opportunity to be involved.
He says the incarceration system in Australia can be an information black hole and About Time intends to rectify that.
The free paper is available to approximately 21,000 prisoners in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT.
It’s tailored to prison life, and with the ambition to shift information in and out of prisons, hopes to create a community among incarcerated peoples.
Today, contributor to About Time Daniel Vansetten and the paper’s managing director Rosie Heselev on giving prisoners a voice and the empathy they hope it will inspire.
