Women's Lives Behind Bars | TODAY Show Australia 

Love the reform of the prison system to cater more towards rehabilitation. Really proud of Austalia on this one.

As an ex crim from South Australia (been out 10+yrs) I can say that the prisons are very similar to this. Australia put a lot into rehabilitation & that's how it should be. Your still locked away with your freedom taken from you. No matter what, people are either going to change or they won't The US have high rates of inmate's getting out & going back due to the way the system is set up. You get out & have little chance of getting a job or finding somewhere to live so what are people going to do to survive. Go back to what they were doing before, committing crimes. At least in Australia we have programs for ex offenders & parolees leaving prison. If you want a second chance you need to stay straight & the system should be there to assist & support. If you don't look after the community, it falls apart. Thank goodness I'm an Aussie. No offence

Why is it nicer than my school?

That place is pristine compared to any American prison.

I'm really happy that Australia is finally developing their prison systems! For too long, inmates have been punished and not rehabilitated.

We need something like this in the states.

I love how they sanitize the head phones

Very interesting. Looks like a hotel in compared to U.S. prisons.

Joan Ferguson would think that was a holiday camp

Never plan on going back🤣i planned my first visit 🤣

Go Australia! Prison reform in US needs to catch up.

Prison is meant to be about losing your freedom, not being dehumanised where you are actually worse when you get out I'd rather have someone rehabilitated living next door not someone who has been dehumanised.

Dame I was just watching videos from this lady talking about her experience in women's prison in America and wow if this is accurate then we got it pretty good here

I notice you didn't show any of the Aboriginal prisoners, Or let them speak.

How is repackaging head phones regarded as being a technical skill?

Listen, big credit to the lady on the left at the end there. “Theyve committed potential crimes” without taking one or the other and admitting she has never been inside a prison. Karen haircut gigachad thoughts though. She seems lovely

Australian prisons are like a 5 star hotel go to a third world country prison and see how miserable and dirty it is in there.

Damn only 7 hours out

kids should be shown this before they become teenagers.Though some already know when they go visit mum.

Nicest ladies’ “cell” that I have ever seen! 😂🤣

Nicest prison ever

To realy dipict the life in there i think the reporter should spend a day as an inmate.

This is like a hotel!

I love Wentworth❤️

Bloody hell this is a hotel 😮

The Uk govenment should get the idea building Australia prisons in the uk it will be much much better top high class security for females and men. It would be a great idea.

Can you learn a trade in prison?

Good video its good to c how the women prisons operate in australia

Many peoples homes are like Prisons. Unlike the Coffin where one is laid in state for a reason.

Reality prisoners when reintegrating into society. It’s true that many individuals struggle to find employment and receive support after their release. Efforts to improve the reintegration process and provide resources for employment, housing, and mental health services are ongoing in various places

Looks like life in prison is getting luxurious. What am I doing outside ?

Ofttt the doobs in dare🥺😍

How are they there for serious crimes when it's a C classo jail 😂

It is not jail conditions are shocking

I hope they realize how lucky they are being treated like its a friggin holiday lol. cabin with a mate type deal. im sure it was nice and polished for the cameras but seriously that just isnt jail lol

Is it true

I WANNA GO TO JAIL NOW- I’m in nsw so Ye lol

Were in Australia 👍

Girlfriend needs to go to America and check out their prisons. She'd be stunned. There's Bedford Hills in upstate new york where rap stars da brat, foxy brown and even lauryn hill of the fugees for income tax evasion. Ohio Reformatory For Women (orfw), and in the west coast there's Chowchilla where former charles manson member patricia krenwinkle did 53 years in prison and got released. Also there's camp summit shock a boot camp type prison. I love this reporter, at ORFW has a convenience type store and if you are a prisoner and you buy from another inmate and not pay on time, you get "beat". They also have gangs as well.

Australia good country . Easy jail life . First class facilities

What happened to equal opportunity? Woman who commit crimes should be treated the same as men.

That katherine knight is there

If they must be in their cell at 3:30, they don’t get many work hours.

The statea should watch this take notes

That was originally a juvenile detention centre and the girls only had it for a year. It's gone to the boys... Our jail's arnt all like this..

Lol certainly nothing like the jails here in the USA

Most videos & interviews with inmates they don't blur their faces. Maybe BC of the country they are in.

My mum is going there

Our own is coming there

They need to make the walls and fences higher in Australian prisons to stop the convicted kangaroos and Wallabies from jumping over the fence.

Looks like a school

Prisons are going way over top and the numbers are so high. The Australian Government should build more prisons to increase overcrowding in jails.

Not very accurate. This was the rated G version

Now hands up who would like to end up in an Australian prison?

The mushroom lady is in here

Old junaperina ... Wow

They make it look easy

Looks like school camp

If Prison is so terrible why commit crimes in the first place?

Do people truly think that our systems are reforming??

Is it safe having a "private" bathroom

So Australia has strict drug laws too?

I really want to be In that prison for probably few weeks (less than a month or so coz if longer I probably be dead lol) just to experience how their life inside there and also to have personal chat with those prisoners, what brings them to the prison and stuff.. anyone know how is the maximum punishment in the jail for stealing a candy at Woolworths? Lol

Go to a supermax

It's horrible in prison these females claim we miss our kids,the kids we didn't even think about when breaking the law and blaming any male they have access to for the reason of greed😮

Luxury compared to US.

The women’s prison shouldn’t be so obviously better than the men’s.

Where Sofia sam is imprisoned ???

Prison is not supposed to be fun

None of these ladies have any family to send them money from home??

Well, they shouldn't of done crime,

Feminism is the main supplier of female prisoners.

Came and talk to wifes

The Inmates are complaining about not seeing they're children, families, dont they get it, its theyre fault, they shouldnt of commited the crime,Duh

That's not jail. That's not punishment. I'm currently watching world's toughest prison on Netflix. That's what it's supposed to be like

Bet there is split on the menu every night

Soon to be home to "EL" & "AF". Go Figure

What is the point, purposely out of focus for anonimity reasons. Ridiculous programe.

Jail politicians, magistrates, judges, & police, how many thousands of Aboriginals & poor/vulnerable have they killed with arbitrary imprisonment.

One of the worst haircuts I have ever seen!
