About
Did you know it costs around $1500 a day to keep a young person in Australian youth detention? In stark contrast, it only costs $3600 a year to provide a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters.

To support this cause, We're getting locked up, and we need your help to raise my bail! All funds will go towards helping young people find life-changing connections and build a brighter future.

Here's How It Works:
Experience Jail Life
Upon arrival, Inmates will be stripped of their possessions, given a prison uniform, fingerprinted, photographed, and fed prison gruel in the exercise yard.
Mock Interrogation and Court:
Inmates will face an interrogation and court proceedings before being sentenced to cell time with my gang or in solitary confinement!

Fundraising Goals:
Supermax Inmate: Raise $5000 for release
Cellblock Inmate: Raise $1000 for release

This unique experience will help bring attention to the urgent need for mentorship programs, highlighting the stark contrast between the high costs of detention and the relatively low costs of preventive mentoring.

Event Details:
Date: 15 August 2025
Location: Old Adelaide Gaol, 18 Gaol Rd, Adelaide, SA

Help me make a difference in the lives of young people by donating to my bail fund. Together, we can support Big Brothers Big Sisters and help more young people find the guidance they need.

Our Story
 
We’re getting locked up—for a cause that sets young people free. 

Our Streetlight team is joining forces with Big Brothers Big Sisters for a unique fundraiser inside the historic walls of the Old Adelaide Gaol. But this isn’t just about the fun of being “locked up”—it’s about unlocking real opportunities for young people in need. We’re raising funds to support mentoring programs run by Streetlight, giving at-risk youth the guidance, connection, and practical support they need to thrive. Through outdoor adventure mentoring and supervised driver mentoring, we’re helping young people build confidence, gain life skills, and take positive steps toward their future. Your donation helps provide fuel, gear, insurance, and the people power needed to make it all happen. Will you help us break the cycle—and set a young life on the right path?
