About

The Bail Out event has been designed to raise awareness of the complex realities many young people face, including trauma, disadvantage, and pathways that can lead to youth detention.

In Australia, it costs $3,635 per day to keep a young person in detention, compared to $9.78 a day to provide a young person with a Volunteer Mentor.

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.

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: 19 June 2026

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!
