Good point, thank you ***super_nova***

 

Apart from what these 2 Australian prisoners have done to help other prisoners, those 'celebrities' make no mention of the other prisoners.

 

They seem to have missed the point that its about people not nationalities.

 

Its not about 'celebrities' who perhaps benefit from jumping on a feelgood bandwagon.

And to go on from that if I may...

It's about recognizing someones positive actions toward rehabilitation.  The fact of it is those other prisoners dont get mentioned because they dont do anything to help others, not that I'm being critical of them, it must be a living hell in prison over there. But it is extremely noble, when someone really makes an effort for others even when they are on death row.  It's not the sign of a great actor or heartless drug dealer, it's the sign of someone who really is trying to make amends for the crimes he committed and what better way than to improve the quality of life for your fellow inmates.  Maybe some who read this might think, who cares about their quality of life, they're prisoners.  And I'd say not me if they had done heinous crimes but (maybe someone can be bothered googling) I wonder how many are in there just for drug related offences.  Being caught in the posession of drugs is not the same as brutally raping and or killing someone or armed robbery or any other horrendous crime imaginable.  jmo.
