“20 Years on the Inside” is a rare and insightful glimpse into the imprisonment and experience of First Nations incarceration over the last twenty years.
First Nations people in Australia are the most incarcerated people on earth, and this podcast amplifies the voices of those who have spent time on the inside.
Our hosts Kutcha Edwards and Vickie Roach are survivors of the Stolen Generations and have both spent their fair share of time on the inside. Kutcha is a musician and a proud Mutti Mutti man whose heritage has shaped much of his music and career. Vickie is a proud Yuin woman currently living on Yuin Country, and a human rights activist whose work has changed laws in Australia.
This podcast honours the resilience and commitment of the prison radio show “Beyond the Bars”, first broadcast on 3CR Community Radio in 2002 and still going strong after 20 years. Throughout this podcast series, we’ll hear live broadcasts from prisons across Victoria, with the wonderful broadcasters that make “Beyond the Bars” such compelling listening. At the centre of these broadcasts are those subsisting on the inside - whose voices are so critical in building a future for Aboriginal people in so-called Australia.
Take a listen to the brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles and cousins, from around Victoria who unite in storytelling, song, poetry and politics.

“There is no space to grieve in jail ...” When loved ones die on the “outside”, those left on the “inside” endure prison despite their grief. In this episode of “20 Years on the Inside”, Kutcha and Vickie speak about the pain of losing family and community members when imprisoned and the agony of being unable to fulfil cultural obligations. This episode not only looks at the pain associated with grief and mourning, but also with drug addiction, and how prisons only prolong the pain. We hear from mob on the inside about their stories of grief and addiction, and Vickie shares her own experiences with unfinished drug habits and the ongoing pain and injustice prisoners continue to face when they’re on the “outside”. In today’s episode, we hear from Clarky, Fuddy Junior, Al Boy, James, Kathleen and Poss in prisons across Victoria and “Beyond the Bars” broadcasters Gilla McGuinness, Ross Morgan and Shiralee Hood.
