Trapped

It’s Christmas Day.

A man paces the caged courtyard attached to his secure unit. There are bits of tinsel strewn around it – an attempt to bring colour into his world.

He’s rarely left this space in the past 11 years.

There’s no date for his release. He’s never been convicted of a crime.

Adrian* is in his mid-30s and lives with an intellectual disability and chromosomal disorder.

The public has never seen how he lives, until now.
