Elders Visiting Program
The Elders Visiting Program involves Elders regularly visiting prisoners in Darwin, Alice Springs, Nhulunbuy and Tennant Creek to help with managing family and community issues such as deaths in the family, release planning, providing cultural advice, planning cultural development programs and events, and liaising between the offender, corrections staff and other agencies.
The Elders are an important link to assist correctional staff in understanding cultural and community issues that may affect prisoner’s behaviour or their ability to address-reoffending.
