Life as a Young, Indigenous, A-class Offender in Australia

The Indigenous population is consistently over-represented in Australia's prisons, but it's even more apparent in the juvenile justice system. Last year, a report on New South Wales stated that young people of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background made up 48 percent of all young people in state custody. The national average in the adult system is 28 percent.

To get an idea of what life is like as a young, Indigenous, A-class offender, we followed rapper and proud Yorta-Yorta man Briggs inside Reiby, a Juvenile Justice Centre on the outskirts of Sydney.
