Can they have visits? work?

This week we're sharing stories from the Vacro Lived Experience Panel's submission to the @VicGovDH @SaferCareVic Inquiry into Women's Pain.
Yesterday you heard from KC, whose dental pain was poorly treated throughout her sentence.
This is Stacey's story:

It's time to end #homelessness. We know that opportunities for people to build their capability increases when they have a home to return to. Our Arc program has been designed to create new pathways to meaningful and full lives and reduce homelessness.

Last week, Vacro's Lived Experience Panel made a submission to the @VicGovDH @SaferCareVic Inquiry into Women's Pain. Three courageous women shared their experiences of pain and pain management in the Victorian prison system.
This is KC's story:

The @FCC said that "exorbitant phone call rates have burdened incarcerated people and their families for decades" and had "detrimental effects on recidivism rates nationwide." Read more: prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/0…

📞: The US @FCC has voted to cut the cost of phone calls from prison by more than half. The new caps range from USD $0.06 - $0.12 (AUD $0.09 - $0.18) per minute.
The current cost of a phone call from prison in Victoria is AUD $0.57/min - more than six times the new US cap.

Nobody should be subject to this brutal treatment, least of all children. We echo the calls growing around the country to remove all children from police watch houses and other places of detention where their rights are not respected. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

The first annual report from the Australian NPM has identified the following themes of concern:
🟢 youth detention
🟢 access to the NDIS
🟢 healthcare – access to Medicare and the PBS
🟢 staffing shortages
🟢 remand
Read the full report here: ombudsman.gov.au/__data/asse…
This is a brilliant and innovative approach to the challenges for people leaving prison - supporting them with a home, and extended individualised support, to give them the best chance of desistance and of rebuilding a good life.
What might look like a boring flatpack to some, to the first participant in our Arc program, it is an exciting sign of their new beginning!

Vacro welcomes today's news of two prison closures. With the prison population at its lowest in a decade, we urge the govt to continue closing prisons without opening new ones; investing instead in community alternatives to incarceration.

Jordan didn’t have much of a ‘first’ chance at life, but sure moved his life forward when he became involved in Second Chance Jobs.

We know having a stable, well-paying job is one of the leading factors for enabling a person to successfully reintegrate into their community after contact with the criminal justice system.
Please support our Second Chance Jobs program.

The @SmartJusticeYP coalition's new action plan is an urgent and welcome intervention against the disinformation and fearmongering that normally characterise the 'youth justice' conversation. It's a blueprint for preventing youth crime via system change: vcoss.org.au/justice-and-hum…

“We’re not just bad people. We’re here because of circumstances that are uncontrollable for us, or that we thought were uncontrollable at the time. But we can change it.”

The screams of other prisoners through the night, meals pushed through ‘judas hatches’, no human contact for days and no escape from a hot, humid cell.
These are the conditions exposed in the #NT ombudsman’s isolation investigation into #Darwin prison. #AusPol #OPCAT
Territorians are reportedly being left in isolation for months in #Darwin prison, as #OPCAT watchdogs investigate #NT Corrections.
