An unusual project is successfully helping indigenous people who have been jailed to break the re-offence cycle, using Aboriginal art, Luke Waters reports.

A Melbourne-based programme is helping previous offenders break the cycle of reoffending, by emphasising participants' indigenous roots.

Suitable candidates can even be bailed straight into the programme from the courtroom.
