Life-changing prison exchange program up for national innovation prize

RMIT

A partnership with Corrections Victoria allowing incarcerated people to study a subject on crime and justice together with students from RMIT University has been recognised for its positive impact.

The trail-blazing Inside-Out program has just been announced as a finalist in the Shaping Australia Awards, in the Future Builders category.

The unique program that brings students together for two hours a week over 12 weeks to study a subject titled Comparative Criminal Justice Systems was introduced to Victorian prisons in 2015 by Associate Professor Marietta Martinovic, in partnership with Corrections Victoria.
