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
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: 30 May 2025
Location: Pentridge Prison, 1 Champ St, Coburg VIC
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.

My Story
As a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters but mostly because I'm a mother, I am raising funds for this charity. I could never imagine my son being put into prison as a young person, and I don't need to know other young people to care about them and their future. I believe every child counts and deserves to have someone believe in them, regardless of what has already happened to them. I won't give up on our youth, and I won't give up on contributing to them in every way I can. We're all in this together, so please help me in this cause, because this effects us all at a societal level in various ways. We CAN make a difference. Let's do it! ♥
