Video Description
Australia has one of the highest reoffending rates in the world. Every year, 19,000 people leave prison in New South Wales, but less than three per cent of them get a bed in a supported accommodation program. Reporter Linton Besser meets the lucky few who’ve been given a place at Sydney’s Rainbow Lodge – one of the longest continually running halfway houses in the world. These men have committed multiple crimes and been in and out of prison for decades. Most have been cast out from their families in the process. For many, the lodge’s three-month program is their last chance to take responsibility for their actions and prove they’re ready for the outside world – but one slip-up could land them back inside. 00:00 - First day out of prison 02-31 - Rainbow Lodge, the halfway house 06:58 - Spending my inheritance on drugs 09:40 - Aggravated break-and-enter 11:00 - My first job in 15 years 14:15 - Getting caught 20:38 - Testing positive for drug use 23:30 - Second chance 29:25 - CCTV footage 36:10 - The apology 38:28 - A different court system 41:20 - Hope for the future This episode was originally broadcast as ‘Breaking Free’ on 3 June 2024 on ABC TV and ABC iview.
