The Evidence

The Evidence

Australia spends $3,640 per child per day on detention. Community programs that actually work cost $75 a day. These are the facts.

First Nations65%

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children make up 65% of those in detention. They are 6% of the population.

Detained Nightly860

Children are locked up on any given night across Australia. Many are on remand. Not yet convicted of any crime.

Cost Per Day$3,640

Taxpayers spend $1.33M per child per year on detention. Community programs cost $75 a day and work better.

Recidivism Rate84%

Of children who go through detention will return. The system does not rehabilitate. It entrenches.

Three Rooms

Thirty minutes. Three rooms. Each one tells a different part of the story.

10 minutes locked inside

Room 1: Current Reality

Young people who supported the build carry the first Room 1 story into a flexible Mount Druitt gathering and then the Adelaide activation on Kaurna Yarta. At every stop, local young people then shape the room from their own place and decide what the public needs to see.

Room 2: What Works

David from Diagrama helps anchor the practice lens for Room 2. The room is grounded in what we saw inside Diagrama's youth justice centres in Spain: education, therapy, family contact, 1:1 staffing, and a recidivism rate of just 13.6%.

Room 3: The Organisations Already Doing It

Room 3 is where local organisations show the programs already working and name what they need funded. Mount Druitt gives the process a small first gathering, Adelaide gets a public activation beside Reintegration Puzzle, then every stop rebuilds it with local hosts.

The Proof

Programs That Work

These are not proposals. These are real programs, with real data, delivering real outcomes. The alternatives already exist.

Northern Territory

Oonchiumpa

95%

Aboriginal-led diversion program achieving a 95% diversion rate. Culturally grounded and significantly more cost-effective.

International

Diagrama

13.6%

Spain's model achieves just 13.6% recidivism. Therapeutic, education-centred, and focused on reintegration.

What if we spent $1.33M on keeping a kid connected to family, culture, and community?
First issue guideResearch, not legal advice

If CONTAINED leaves people asking "what now?", start with youth remand.

This guide explains why young people are held before sentence, what it costs, what alternatives exist, who is organising, and what a visitor, advocate, worker, funder, or decision-maker can do next.

Law

Support

The Tour

We have not locked the money to make this happen. Each stop needs local partners, venues, and funding. We need help. We cannot do this on our own.
