Locked In
Monday
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Locked In, is a program that focuses on people that are currently in jail in QLD who write into our show to have personal messages and song requests played on air each week. Due to the high turnover of letters from prisoners, we do not have the time to take live phone calls, but we are able to read out text messages sent in. Unfortunately, no song requests can be played from the text line due to prioritising the VIP's (Very Important Prisoners). You can also record an audio message on your phone and email it to us.
To send a shout out;
- Text - 0420 626 733 (text only)
- Email - [email protected] (text or audio files)
Prisoners and their families can write shout outs to;

Tonight on the program, Brett from Justice Action joined us to chat about the current bill before parliament, to further restrict the voting rights of prisoners.
Locked In does not support the existing or proposed restrictions on prisoners right to vote, further breaching the civil and human rights of incarcerated people. We encourage all impacted parties to make a submission, or contact us to contribute to a submission on behalf of the incarcerated listeners of Locked In.

- Make a submission: https://qldparlcomm.snapforms.com.au/form/electoral-laws-restoring-electoral-fairness-amendment-bill-2025
- The proposed Bill: https://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/view/html/bill.first.exp/bill-2025-044
- Brett at Justice Action: https://justiceaction.org.au/
The overarching policy objectives of the Bill are to improve and restore fairness and equality to the regulation of elections in Queensland and increase public confidence in Queensland’s electoral processes. The Bill includes amendments:
• prohibiting persons serving a sentence of imprisonment or detention of one year or longer from voting at State elections and referendums and local government elections;
-----
Electoral Laws (Restoring Electoral Fairness) Amendment Bill 2025 who are serving a sentence of imprisonment of three years or more are not entitled to vote at State elections and referendums and local government elections. The Bill will increase this restriction by prohibiting persons serving a sentence of imprisonment or detention of one year or longer from voting at State and local government elections (rather than the current prohibition of when serving a sentence of imprisonment of three years or longer). The Bill clarifies that persons over 18 years who were sentenced to detention of one year or more as a child and are serving that sentence (in full-time detention or as a term of imprisonment in a corrective services facility) are not entitled to vote in State elections and referendums and local government elections. The policy objectives of prohibiting voting by persons serving sentences of imprisonment or detention of one year or longer are to:
• refine the eligibility to vote to a narrower class of prisoners and persons serving sentences of detention, having regard to the culpability of their offending, to enhance civic responsibility; and
• increase public confidence in the integrity of electoral processes, by not allowing elections to be influenced by those who show disregard for the rule of law.
