Flipping through the pages of the latest Reader's Digest magazine and we've spotted our very own Doin' Time title under the selected Book Reviews section! The personal stories of nine Australian men whose early lives were marred by abuse, an absence of joy or encouragement and a lack of stability make compelling reading.
This is clip about the Doin' Time book and an introduction to some of the people involved in the books. Whitelion helps young people find the courage to seek a better future and aims to break the cycle of substance abuse, criminal activity and incarceration by providing young people at risk with opportunities to make links and build relationships with the community with education and employment opportunities.
