FairThreads is a social enterprise that provides prison-compliant clothing for inmates in Victorian correctional facilities. Families and friends can purchase approved clothing via our secure online platform, ensuring all items meet Corrections Victoria's guidelines. We also offer transitional employment opportunities for people exiting custody, helping them reintegrate into the community.
Every item in our store is carefully selected to meet Corrections Victoria's strict clothing guidelines. This includes considerations around materials, styles, and security risks. By purchasing from FairThreads, you can be confident that the items will be accepted by correctional facilities.
No, clothing purchased through FairThreads is securely delivered directly to the correctional facility. This ensures all items are traceable, reducing security risks and simplifying the approval process for prison staff.
Because FairThreads ensures all clothing is compliant, rejection is highly unlikely. However, if an item is refused for an unforeseen reason, please contact us at contact@fairthreads.com.au, and we will work with the facility to resolve the issue or provide a replacement where necessary.
Delivery times can vary depending on the prison's processing schedules, but we aim to dispatch orders within 3-5 business days. Once received by the facility, processing times will depend on the internal protocols of that prison.
If you're unsure about sizing, we recommend contacting the inmate directly or selecting flexible-fit options, like elastic-waist pants. Our team can also provide sizing advice based on common standards.
FairThreads offers transitional employment opportunities to individuals exiting custody. Through mentorship, vocational training, and stable work, we help individuals reintegrate into society with dignity and purpose, reducing the risk of reoffending.
FairThreads is the only provider dedicated to prison-compliant clothing in Victoria, ensuring security and compliance every time. Plus, every purchase supports our mission to create job opportunities for ex-inmates, helping to build stronger, safer communities.
