Beyond the Bars gives voice to the voiceless from 4 – 8 July 2011 as we celebrate 10 years of Indigenous prisoners on the airwaves during NAIDOC* Week on 3CR 855AM and 3CR Digital.

The broadcasts are part of the Beyond the Bars project which began in 2002. Now in its tenth year, the project has won several awards including the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Radio Award in 2004 and the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia Contribution to Indigenous Broadcasting award in 2009. Read the Media Release for more information. And tune in during NAIDOC Week to the live prison broadcasts.

Beyond the Bars receives financial support from Corrections Victoria and the Koori Justice Unit Department of Justice, the City of Melbourne and the Community Broadcasting Foundation.
