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: 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.

Donate now and help the Inmates from Pentridge Prison!

🚨 I'm Getting Locked Up for a Good Cause!
  I’ve been so inspired by Big Brothers Big Sisters' incredible work to support vulnerable young people in our communities. Their mentorship programs change lives, helping kids feel seen, supported, and empowered to reach their potential.
 
So, in actual “go big or go home” spirit… I’ve agreed to be locked up as an inmate in their fundraising challenge! That’s right, I'm taking the time to help raise funds and awareness for this life-changing cause.
 
But I can’t make bail without your help! Every dollar raised goes directly to Big Brothers Big Sisters to match more young people with mentors who can make a lasting difference.
 
Will you chip in and help me break free for the kids?
