Considering Australia was founded as a penal colony, it's no surprise we have a long and painful history regarding prisons. On this episode of Broken Chains, we talk to Brett Collins, former prisoner and manager of Justice Action, about the history of the prisoner movement in Australia, and current campaigns to improve the rights of incarcerated people.
