Monash alumnus spearheads innovative prison newspaper

Joseph Friedman, a Monash Law alumnus, has created Australia's first national prison newspaper, About Time, which serves as a platform for incarcerated individuals to express themselves, stay informed, and connect with the outside world.

Inspired by a UK-based prison newspaper, Inside Time, Joseph's initiative aims to provide a voice that transcends prison walls and covers topics such as legal rights, rehabilitation programs, and personal stories.

The newspaper has gained approval in several Australian jurisdictions and plans to expand into a multimedia platform, including a radio station accessible to incarcerated people.
