Beyond the Bars gave voice to the voiceless from 4 – 8 July 2011 as it celebrated 10 years of Indigenous prisoners on the airwaves during NAIDOC Week on 3CR 855AM and 3CR Digital. Read more here. 

Men and women from the Indigenous community on the inside shared stories, songs, opinions and poems in this remarkable radio event from within the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre, Barwon Prison, Fulham Correctional Centre, Marngoneet Correctional Centre, and Port Phillip Prison. 3CR Indigenous broadcasters including Kutcha Edwards, Gilla McGuinness, Shiralee Hood, Freddy Norris, Johnny Mac and others presented the radio shows.

In 2011 Beyond the Bars received financial support from Corrections Victoria and the Koori Justice Unit Department of Justice, the City of Melbourne and the Community Broadcasting Foundation.
