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

05/06/2026

At 22 years old, Jacob was facing more than 20 years in prison under the Vlad laws.

Locked in a cell for 22 hours a day. No TV. One phone call to the outside world. One non-contact visit a week. Just two hours in the yard.

Like many people in prison, he found himself asking a difficult question:

“Is this going to be the rest of my life?”

Fast forward 11 years, and life looks very different.

Today, Jacob is walking back into prisons for a different reason — helping survivors of institutional child abuse access support and have their voices heard. This week, that work has taken him to Mount Gambier, where he’s meeting people whose stories have gone unheard for far too long.

The past may shape your story, but it doesn’t have to define your future.

👉 Breaking the cycle starts with believing that change is possible, even when the odds are stacked against you.

It took Jacob a long time to speak up about what happened to him.

At just 17 years old, he experienced abuse at the hands of someone who was supposed to hold a position of trust and authority. For years, he carried that experience in silence.

It wasn’t until someone close to him gave him the courage to talk about what he had been through that he finally found his voice.

Speaking up isn’t easy. It takes strength, support, and often a safe person to listen. But no one should have to carry their pain alone.

👉 If you were taught to keep everything in and handle it yourself, hear this — it’s okay to speak up. Finding one safe person doesn’t make you weak, it keeps you steady.

For Jacob, self-love starts with showing up.

Some days that looks like going for a run. Other days, when injuries get in the way, it means adapting and finding another path forward. This morning, that meant jumping on the push bike and getting a few kilometres in before the day began.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about building habits that keep you moving forward.

Exercise, a walk around the block, a stretch, a few quiet moments to yourself — these small actions can have a big impact. They create momentum, build discipline, and remind you that you’re worth investing in.

Sometimes the first win of the day is simply getting up and having a crack.

👉 Self-care isn’t selfish — it’s one of the best investments you can make in yourself.

Eighteen years in custody changes a person.

Through the work we do at About Time For Justice, Jacob had a yarn with a bloke who has spent the better part of his life behind bars. After years in maximum security, he had finally been moved into a lower security environment — only to find himself sent straight back to the blocks.

For many people in prison, progress can feel fragile. One moment there’s hope, the next it feels like the rug has been pulled out from under them.

That conversation was a reminder of something important.

No matter how hard a day gets on the outside, there’s still freedom. Freedom to make choices. Freedom to be with family. Freedom to wake up tomorrow and try again.

Sometimes gratitude comes from remembering where you’ve been — and recognising how far you’ve come.

👉 If you’re starting to question whether the life you’re living is worth the cost, that feeling is worth listening to. Taking a different path isn’t weakness — it’s strength.

Deaths in custody remain one of the most devastating realities of the prison system.

People die behind bars for many different reasons — overdose, su***de, violence, and other preventable circumstances. Yet despite countless inquiries, investigations, and recommendations over the years, people continue to lose their lives in custody across Australia.

Jacob still remembers the first death in custody that affected him personally. As a young man moving through the prison system, he heard that someone he knew had passed away while incarcerated. It was a moment that stayed with him and opened his eyes to a reality that continues to impact families and communities today.

Every death in custody is more than a statistic. It is a person, a family, and a community left searching for answers.

The conversation cannot stop until meaningful change happens.

In 2013, Jacob was charged under the VLAD laws and was facing more than 20 years in prison.

Placed in segregation, he had no TV, no books, and very little contact with the outside world. His days were spent staring at the walls, training, and sitting alone with his thoughts. With only two hours out in the yard, it was hard not to wonder if this would be the rest of his life.

At the time, his father was already serving a long prison sentence. The cycle seemed impossible to escape.

But even in the darkest moments, Jacob held onto one thing: the belief that there was still light at the end of the tunnel, and that his family would be there when he made it home.

Sometimes, change starts with refusing to give up on the future.

Institutional abuse doesn’t only happen in one place.

It can happen in boys homes, foster care, schools, churches, youth detention, sporting clubs, camps, or community organisations. Often, it starts with grooming — building trust through gifts, attention, alcohol, ci******es, or creating a sense of safety before abuse takes place.

For many survivors, the signs weren’t obvious at the time. Especially as children.

These conversations are uncomfortable, but they matter. Because understanding grooming and institutional abuse is part of protecting vulnerable young people and breaking the cycle of silence.

Stepping back into jail is always tough, even when you’re walking through the front gates as a free man.

For many people who experienced the system, these places aren’t just buildings. They carry you back to a past you’ve worked hard to leave behind.

Going back is a heavy reminder of how broken the system really is. It’s not there to help you; it’s designed to keep you in. It’s a reminder that jail stores trauma deep in your bones.

Jacob goes back, even though it’s hard, because silence only protects the system. And people inside need to know that life after prison is actually possible.

Whether your story started in youth detention at Parkville, growing up in the housing commission flats, or getting caught up in gangs, the transition back into the community can be the hardest part. Because breaking away from that life will demand everything you’ve got.

But it’s proof that people’s stories don’t have to end behind bars. You don’t have to stay in the cycle. We show up today so the next generation doesn’t have to.

👉 Share this with someone who is carrying that trauma silently. You don’t have to carry it alone.
👉 You’re not your charges, your sentence, or your worst years. Reach out if you want to build a future after getting out of jail: https://abouttimeforjustice.com/contact

For 10 years, Jacob was caught up in a cycle of jail, gangs, drugs, and alcohol.

From his first charges in Sydney back in 2009, to his last court appearance in 2019, that lifestyle became normal. Courtrooms, police, prison visits, and chaos were just part of everyday life.

But eventually, something changed.

Breaking the cycle didn’t happen overnight. It came from making different choices, staying disciplined, and continuing to show up — even on the hard days.

That’s why conversations like this matter. Because no matter how long someone has been stuck in that lifestyle, change is still possible.

👉 If you’re looking to step away from crime or gang life and put your skills into real work — trades, business, or something new — reach out. There are ways to build a future without burning bridges.
