NSW fitness program for young people in jail helping them to see 'another life is possible'

ABC  

Inside the gymnasium of the Frank Baxter Youth Justice Centre, a group of young people huddle around Joe Kwon. In nine short weeks, the program is already having an impact – one young person said Mr Kwon had taught him that "another life is possible". Fellow mentor Adrian Masih met Mr Kwon inside prison and quickly found a "brotherhood" of like-minded inmates passionate about fitness. "Other boys see that this group of boys are involved in such a positive program they want to be involved, so it has effect right across the whole centre."
