Young, Black and Behind Bars: 101 East investigates Australia's Indigenous Incarceration Crisis

Across Australia, Indigenous people are disproportionately arrested and locked up - some as young as 10 years old.

In this special report, former inmates reveal what it is like to be imprisoned as a child.

As the Black Lives Matter Movement resonates across the globe and Indigenous Australians lead nationwide protests, families describe the heartbreak of losing a loved one to a life behind bars.

From outback communities to inside a youth jail, 101 East goes to the front lines of the criminal justice system in Western Australia, the state with the country’s highest rate of Indigenous incarceration.
