Hello and welcome, My name is Jacob Little, and I thought I would start a podcast for survivors. When I say survivors, I mean survivors of child abuse, institutional child abuse, survivors of addiction, survivors of the prison system and survivors of domestic violence. Been a survivor of abuse and having lived experience of the prison system. I thought I would start this safe space so all survivors can listen and tune in. I hope people can relate to Survivor Stories, and we can work together to create a safer place for children and survivors. If you would like to tell your story, hit me up.
In this exciting episode of Jails, Gangs and Justice, we’re joined by Michelle Goulding from Three D Radio 93.7FM — the voice behind The Prison Show, a program that has supported South Australian prisoners and their families for more than 13 years.
Michelle sits down with Jacob to talk about the realities inside SA prisons, the power of radio in isolation, and the importance of connection for those doing time. Together, they explore everything from mental health and phone system frustrations to prison music, art programs, and the lived experiences that drive real change.
Michelle also opens up about her own journey as a long-standing jail wife and her decades of commitment to reading prisoner mail, playing their music, and keeping families connected every Sunday night.
Key topics include:
The mission of About Time for Justice & supporting survivors of institutional child abuse
The daily realities inside SA prisons – phones, programs, lockdowns & mental health
The role of radio, music, and art in giving incarcerated people a voice
How families can cope when a loved one goes inside
Breaking cycles of trauma and using lived experience to create change
Outreach across VIC & SA prisons, NDIS support, and advocacy work
If you or someone you love has been impacted by incarceration or institutional abuse, this episode brings honesty, connection, and hope from people who’ve lived it.
