About Time

About Time is Australia's first national prison newspaper. It is a place for news and education, expression and hope; providing a voice to the incarcerated and a window into the concealed world of incarceration. About Time is a prison newspaper for all those incarcerated in Australia, made by a coalition of workers and lawyers in consultation with community groups, and inspired by the United Kingdom's highly successful prison newspaper, Inside Time. About Time's content is produced primarily by current and formerly incarcerated people. It offers people in prison the chance to connect with each other, to share their experiences, and to receive content specifically relevant to them. Each monthly edition contains letters, short stories, artwork, entertainment, hard-hitting news stories and essential information related to criminal justice, health, financial literacy and safety. About Time launched across all prisons in Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and the ACT in early July. It now distributes more than copies to more than 80 prisons around the country.
