#JustJustice – tackling the over-incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples

WHAT IS #JUSTJUSTICE?

#JustJustice is a crowd-funded campaign that produced a series of articles at Croakey. These have been packaged into a free e-book.

Join thousands of other people in downloading your copy of the #JustJustice book RIGHT HERE.

The articles and the book highlight the wide-ranging health impacts of over-incarceration upon Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, families and communities, and take a strengths-based approach to identifying solutions.

The #JustJustice project developed out of conversations with Aboriginal health leaders, including Dr Tom Calma and the former Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Mick Gooda. It took a solutions-focused approach, and identified ways that politicians, policy makers and the wider community can tackle over-incarceration.

It aims to help politicians, policy makers, the health sector and the wider community to understand that over-incarceration is a critical public health issue.

Check our Pozible pitch. The campaign was successfully funded on 7 June, 2015.

At the bottom of this page are the names of more than 300 donors to the campaign.
We would particularly like to acknowledge our two premium sponsors, Jesuit Social Services, and Frank Meany of One Vision.

The #JustJustice book was launched on 27 November, 2016. To mark the launch, we are giving away the #JustJustice Twittertips.  Read more about the hard copy book at the bottom of this post (and also here); it was produced on a pronbono basis in late 2016. It was provided in addition to the promised outcomes for the #JustJustice crowdfunding campaign.

***

WHAT DOES #JUSTJUSTICE AIM TO ACHIEVE?

1. We will produce a long-running series of articles that will be packaged into an e-book for wide distribution to politicians, policy makers and others.

2. We hope to encourage a sustained focus on over-incarceration as a critical public health concern. In so doing, we hope to help change the dominant narrative around this issue, and to enable new connections and collaborations for change.

***

WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF #JUSTJUSTICE?

The project has six main components:

1. Articles by researchers, NGOs, advocates, policy makers and others that highlight critical areas for change in policy and practice, and also initiatives that are successful in reducing incarceration rates.

2. Investigative journalism articles highlighting some ways forward and blockages in the political and policy arenas, as well as profiling community initiatives.

3. Articles/podcasts/short YouTube clips from community members highlighting the impact of current policies (community members will be paid for contributing stories).

4. Infographics and Internet memes to provide catchy, visual representation of some of the key issues.

5. The rotated curated Twitter accounts @IndigenousX and @WePublicHealth will work in with the project, to help amplify the voices and stories that are being told.

6. At the conclusion of the series, all articles, graphics and electronic links will be packaged into an interactive e-book that will be made freely available and distributed to policy makers, educational institutions, NGOs etc.

WHAT IS THE PROJECT’S FRAMEWORK?

This project is being informed by a decolonising methodology for journalism practice, which includes:

• Providing a useful service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.

• Recognition of the role of colonisation in contributing to incarceration rates and acknowledgement/understanding of how this history plays out in the present.

• Taking a strengths-based approach.

• Ensuring priority representation of and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and their expertise, knowledges, cultures and experiences.

• Examining white privilege, particularly within this context.

• Process matters. This project recognises the importance of respect and relationships, and puts emphasis on how the project is done, as one of the outcomes.

The #JustJustice book, in print

The hard copy #JustJustice book was produced on a pronbono basis in late 2016. It was provided in addition to the promised outcomes for the #JustJustice crowdfunding campaign (as outlined above).

The aim was to provide a platform for advocacy, political engagement and for bringing wider attention to the issues raised by the contributors to the series published at Croakey and made available in the free e-publication. The #JustJustice team (Summer May Finlay, Dr Megan Williams, Marie McInerney, Melissa Sweet and Mitchell Ward) did this extra work on a probono basis, with the assistance of supporters and contributors Karen Wyld and Sally Fitzpatrick.

The #JustJustice team has made copies of the book available for sale at cost price to Gleebooks in Sydney. As with all bookstores, a retailer’s mark-up is added to this price. The book is also available via print-on-demand (it was provided at cost-price to these platforms, which then add their own mark-up). See Angus & Robertson, Fishpond, and Amazon.

Neither Croakey nor members of the #JustJustice team are making money from sales of this book. We were able to print a second edition of the book thanks to a grant from Western Sydney University. This grant is also being used to support further #JustJustice activities, including the publication of related articles arising from an interview with Minister Ken Wyatt and other dissemination work.

We encourage libraries, schools and other organisations to buy copies of the #JustJustice book, which provides a unique and powerful avenue for dissemination of community experiences, research and prevention and support programs and initiatives.

The crisis of over-incarceration continues. We have had much positive feedback about the impact of #JustJustice, reinforcing that unified efforts are required across disciplines, worldviews and communities in order to prevent issues from worsening and in order to stop over-incarceration. We thank and acknowledge all contributors and supporters of the #JustJustice project.
