To About Time,
My name’s Luiing, from WA. I would like to say a big thanks to the publishers of About Time newspaper for creating such a good opportunity for inmates have a turn to talk and share. Thanks for shining a light on our darkness.
I am foreign national, and one of the most frustrating parts of my prison time is that I am a foreigner, because it means a lack of attention from everyone and everywhere. I am surrounded by multiple support groups, but none of them for me. I have been told that I am not allowed to join TAFE courses. No education. Today, I have no idea what kind of support or plan is available for long term foreign prisoner’s pre-release or reintegration.
If foreign prisoners have been sentenced under same law as Australians, then it’s extremely important that they have right to be treat equally in their imprisonment – on humanitarian grounds.
I was touched by learning about Bri Lee who helps donate books to women incarcerated in NSW. If I have anything to say – it is that nothing is more important than finding fulfilment and empowering yourself through learning and creating thanks to people’s kindness.
Thanks heaps.
Yours sincerely,
Luiing
