Guest Speaker: Michael O'Connell, Second Chances SA

Prisoners' children - invisible victims of crime

Michael O’Connell AM, APM has worked in the field of victimology for about three decades.  For twelve of these years, he served as the first Commissioner for Victims' Rights in SA (and in Australia).  Since his retirement from paid-work in July 2018, Michael has continued and expanded his volunteering as an advocate and expert.  He has, for instance, carried the torch as Victims’ Advocate for Second Chances SA.  In this role he has, as his presentation will show, drawn attention to the plight of prisoners' children.

Michael will speak about how children of prisoners are overlooked, ignored and lost into the criminal justice system – not their crime – not their fault.
