Series Two - Bonus Episode

justicematters

The project began as a collaboration Margaret Burns, a teacher at the Dawn De Loas Correctional Centre in Sydney, and Kate Pinnock, the producer and presenter of the weekly “Jailbreak” radio show on 2 SER. Kate ran a series of workshops for a small group of volunteer inmates. After creating edited content for “Jailbreak” the group was keen to further develop the skills they had acquired so Margaret and I developed the idea of producing a complete radio program to support the case for NSW Corrective Services developing of a prison radio service. Ina series of workshops the group developed the script for the program and recorded the content. A digital audio workstation was brought in for the final couple of sessions so that the guys could participate in the editing process. The finished product was presented to a meeting of senior Corrective Services staff and was well received. Unfortunately the proposal to develop a prison radio service was not taken up.
