With disproportionately high numbers of First Nations people in prison, inmates in the far west of New South Wales have been allowed to take part in NAIDOC activities for the first time. At the Broken Hill Correctional Centre, 70 percent of the inmates identify as having Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage, despite only accounting for 10 percent of the city's population.
