For the 6th year Melbourne’s community radio station, 3CR 855AM, will conduct live radio broadcasts with Indigenous prisoners during NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) Week. Read more here.

Part of the Beyond the Bars project, the broadcasts will go to air on 855AM and stream globally on www.3cr.org.au from 9th to the 13th of July. Highlights of the broadcasts will be being launched as a CD in November this year.

These award-winning prison broadcasts are unique in Australia and give Indigenous prisoners in Victoria their only chance to participate with the community during NAIDOC Week, a time of celebration and coming together within Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
