About Time is Australia's first national prison newspaper.
It will be a place for news and education, expression and hope; providing a voice to the incarcerated and a window into the concealed world of incarceration.
About Time will be a prison newspaper for all those incarcerated in Australia, made by a coalition of workers and lawyers in consultation with community groups, and inspired by the United Kingdom's highly successful prison newspaper, Inside Time.
About Time's content will be produced primarily by current and formerly incarcerated people. It will offer people in prison the chance to connect with each other, to share their experiences, and to receive content specifically relevant to them.
Each monthly edition will contain letters, short stories, artwork, entertainment, hard-hitting news stories and essential information related to criminal justice, health, financial literacy and safety.
About Time will launch across all prisons in Victoria and New South Wales in early July, with distribution commencing in other jurisdicitons in the following months.
We would be so grateful for any help you can provide to assist with the start-up costs in creating, editing, printing and distributing this crucial, first-of-its-kind national prison newspaper.

About Time Media acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands across Australia and particularly acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, traditional owners of the land on which About Time Media is based. We acknowledge the continuing impacts of the criminal legal system on First Nations people, including disproportionate rates of incarceration and deaths in custody, which remain a national shame. We pay deep respect to Elders past and present, and all families of those who have lost loved ones in prison.
