Life on the Outside(2022)

Life on the Outside is a documentary series that follows four Australian households opening their homes to formerly incarcerated people for 100 days. Presented by Danielle Cormack, the show explores a bold social experiment designed to reduce recidivism and help ex-offenders reintegrate into society. Each household faces the challenge of welcoming someone with a criminal past into their daily lives, testing assumptions about rehabilitation, trust, and second chances. The series examines whether stable housing and community support can genuinely transform lives and break the cycle of reoffending. Through intimate access to these households, Life on the Outside reveals the real obstacles and human connections that emerge when ordinary Australians commit to supporting criminal justice reform.
