Submission – Voices of Aboriginal Male Prisoners at the Metropolitan Remand Centre – Group 2

First Nations men in the Metropolitan Remand Centre say one of the biggest issues across the prisons is the high cost of phone calls. It stops people being able to speak with their families, which is something that helps people feel sane and connected. They also talk about the shortage of mental health, methadone, banking, employment, housing and health services, which all have serious flow-on effects.
