About Time For Justice

About Time For Justice Helping Survivors of Institutional Child SA seek Justice and start HEALING⚖️⛓️.

22/05/2026

Recently, Jacob visited the Western Plains Correctional Centre — it’s always good to kick back and connect with the men inside.

He had six visits booked, but only got to see three because some of the units were locked down. But it was a good day overall.

What people don’t realise is how quickly things can change on the inside.

Lockdowns.
Movement stops.
Visits cancelled.

That’s how the system does things.

Jacob and the team at About Time for Justice work remotely with people in jails all over Australia. Over the past few weeks alone, they connected with people inside:

• Western Plains Correctional Centre
• Dame Phyllis Frost Centre
• Melbourne Remand Centre
• Ravenhall Correctional Centre
• Fulham Correctional Centre (via phone)

A lot of the people that ATFJ supports are currently inside the prison system. Many are also survivors of institutional child SA connected to:

• boys’ homes / girls’ homes
• foster care
• ward of the state
• residential care
• DHS / DOCS
• youth detention centres
• churches and church-run organisations
• private, public, and boarding schools

To make sure people get the right help, the team works closely with:

• criminal lawyers
• lawyers specialising in superannuation claims
• workplace injury claims
• TAC / motor vehicle accident claims

Though ATFJ does not provide legal advice, they provide support, advocacy, and connection, working alongside:

• rehab services
• NDIS providers
• recovery supports
• community organisations

A lot of people don’t realise this — but they may have insurance attached to their super.

👉 If your loved one is in jail, or if you need support navigating the system, you don’t have to figure it out alone, personal message me for a yarn.

👉 If you’ve been affected by institutional abuse, workplace injuries, physical injuries, or motor vehicle accidents, reach out, you may be able to claim your superannuation: https://abouttimeforjustice.com/contact

REAL WORK IN THE COMMUNITY

Jacob caught up with the Banksia Gardens Community Services crew — people doing real community work.

Jacob first connected with these legends when they supported at one of their community days.

Today, Jacob sat down with the team from Banksia Gardens Community Services for a really solid yarn around:
• Helping young people
• Mentorship programs
• Potential boxing programs
• Reintegration support
• And the amazing programs they’re already running in the community

A lot of young people just need structure, support, and solid people around them.

That stuff matters.

Together, they spoke about the work Jacob is doing through — focusing on reintegration and supporting people trying to break the cycle, especially those from prison systems.

Recently, he has also been visiting and connecting with:
• Western Plains Correctional Centre
• Dame Phyllis Frost Centre
• Melbourne Remand Centre
• Ravenhall Correctional Centre
• Fulham Correctional Centre (via phone)

A lot of the people we support are inside the prison systems, and are survivors of institutional child SA connected to:

• Boys’ homes / girls’ homes
• Foster care
• Ward of the State
• Residential care
• DHS / DOCS
• Youth detention centres
• Churches and church-run organisations
• Private, public, and boarding schools

The team works closely with:
• Criminal lawyers
• Lawyers specialising in superannuation claims
• Workplace injury claims
• TAC / motor vehicle accident claims

While ATFJ does not provide legal advice, we do work alongside:
• Rehab services
• NDIS providers
• Recovery supports
• Community organisations

If trauma, mental health, workplace injuries, physical injuries, or motor vehicle accidents have stopped you from working —
you may potentially be able to claim on your superannuation.

#1 HACK FOR VISITING RAVENHALL CORRECTIONAL CENTRE — DON’T FORGET THE GOLD COINS.

Seriously.

Forgetting them means…

A long walk back to the car park.

A lot of people don’t know that gold coins are needed for lockers at the front reception.

And visitors have to lock away everything:
• mobile phones
• keys
• wallets
• anything being carried

If those coins are forgotten, it means wasting valuable visit time walking all the way back to the car.

So leave extra time.

But most importantly —

👉 DON’T FORGET THE GOLD COINS.

Jacob has spent a lot of time back inside prisons across Victoria recently.

Recently, he visited:
• Western Plains Correctional Centre
• Dame Phyllis Frost Centre
• Melbourne Remand Centre
• Ravenhall Correctional Centre

A lot of the people ATFJ supports are currently inside the prison system.

A lot are also survivors of institutional child SA connected to:
• boys’ homes / girls’ homes
• foster care
• ward of the state
• residential care
• DHS / DOCS
• youth detention centres
• churches and church-run organisations
• private, public and boarding schools

The team works closely with:

• criminal lawyers
• lawyers specialising in superannuation claims
• workplace injury claims
• TAC / motor vehicle accident claims

About Time For Justice is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We provide support and connect people with the right legal professionals.

We also work alongside:
• rehab services
• NDIS providers
• recovery supports
• community organisations

A lot of people don’t realise this —

If trauma, mental health, workplace injuries, physical injuries, or motor vehicle accidents have stopped someone from working —

they may potentially be able to claim superannuation.

People don’t even realise they may have insurance attached to their super.

If a loved one is in jail and needs support navigating things, they don’t have to figure it out alone.

#1 HACK FOR VISITING MELBOURNE REMAND CENTRE — LEAVE EARLY OR YOU MIGHT MISS THE VISIT.

Especially if you haven’t visited in a while.

Sometimes your biometrics aren’t saved properly in the system anymore and it can delay you getting through the front.

The last thing you want is missing time with your loved one because you got held up at the gate.

Since getting out of jail, Jacob says one of the hardest things was building a healthy routine.

After years of living in survival mode, structure doesn’t always come easy. But over time, he found that having a solid morning routine helped him mentally, emotionally, and professionally.

Small habits can make a big difference — whether it’s getting up on time, exercising, reading, reflecting, or simply starting the day with intention.

Positive change doesn’t happen overnight, but it starts with consistently showing up for yourself.

👉 Show up for yourself, even in small ways. Consistency builds change.
👉 Want to start making positive changes in your own life? Save this routine and give it a try.

People often ask what life in jail actually looks like day to day.

For many, it’s about finding ways to pass the time. Training, playing cards, reading books, gambling, watching TV, or getting creative with whatever’s around. Some people throw themselves into education or artwork. Others spend hours exercising just to stay mentally strong.

For Jacob, training became part of survival. Chin-ups, dips, burpees — doing whatever he could to keep his mind focused while living in an environment that can feel repetitive, isolating, and mentally draining.

Behind the walls, time moves differently.

👉 Sometimes breaking the cycle starts with understanding what life inside really looks like.

WHEN THE JAIL GATES SHUT BEHIND YOU — life changes fast.

Recently, Jacob visited:
• Western Plains Correctional Centre
• Dame Phyllis Frost Centre

Both maximum-security prisons.
Dame Phyllis Frost Centre is a women’s maximum-security prison.

Over the next couple of weeks we’ve also be heading into:
• Ravenhall Correctional Centre
• Melbourne Remand Centre
• Marngoneet Correctional Centre

A lot of the people we support are currently inside the prison system.
But we also support people in the community trying to rebuild their lives too.

A lot of the people ATFJ has worked with are survivors of institutional child SA and trauma connected to:
• boys’ homes / girls’ homes
• foster care
• ward of the state
• residential care
• DHS / DOCS
• youth detention centres
• churches and church-run organisations
• private, public and boarding schools

We don’t provide legal advice.

But we do work closely with lawyers who specialise in:
• criminal law
• workplace injuries
• TAC / motor vehicle accident claims
• compensation matters

A lot of people also don’t realise this:
If childhood trauma, mental health struggles, workplace injury, physical injury, or addiction has stopped you from working — you may have insurance attached to your superannuation.

Some people may be eligible to claim through their super because of:
• PTSD
• anxiety / depression
• physical injuries
• workplace injuries
• motor vehicle accidents
• long-term trauma impacts

A lot of people don’t even know this support exists.
That’s why here at About time for Justice, we spend so much time inside prisons, rehabs, housing commission flats, and community spaces — trying to point people in the right direction.
And for anyone heading into the prisons for visits —
Here’s 3 quick tips:
1️⃣ Don’t forget your ID
2️⃣ Don’t forget your locker key number
3️⃣ Wear appropriate clothing or you may get turned away

Driving past the courthouse still brings back memories for Jacob.

Years of going in and out of courtrooms, visiting prisons, and spending time behind bars himself. Seeing someone walk into court today reminded him of the person he used to be — suited up, heading into the watch house, caught in a cycle he couldn’t escape.

But these days, things are different.

Now, even on the hard days, he keeps showing up. Keeps getting out of bed. Keeps having a crack. Because breaking the cycle doesn’t happen overnight — it happens one decision at a time.

👉 Breaking the cycle starts with choosing to keep going, even when it’s hard.
