Beyond the Bars is a unique series of live prison radio broadcasts that give voice to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander inmates in Victorian prisons. The broadcasts are presented by 3CR's First Nations broadcasters during NAIDOC* Week (July). Beyond the Bars began in 2002 and each year it features songs, stories, opinions and poems from the men and women inside, while also connecting them with culture and community. *National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee

Beyond the Bars is 3CR's live prison programming - broadcast from inside prisons across Victoria during NAIDOC Week each year, and presented by 3CR's Indigenous broadcasters. Join us for the launch of Beyond the Bars 9, a double CD of highlights from the six prison radio shows.
