What happens when your first teaching job isn't in a classroom - but in juvenile detention?
When Ralph Jackman swapped his career as a sports reporter for life as a teacher, he expected yard duty and parent-teacher nights. Instead, he found himself behind the razor wire of Melbourne's Parkville Youth Detention Centre, teaching literacy and numeracy to some of the nation's most vulnerable and damaged boys.
This raw and powerful memoir takes you inside a world few educators ever see - both shocking and inspiring, with humour and heartbreak, and moments of connection that make teaching matter. But it's also the story of a system failing its most desperate kids - and a teacher who refused to look away.
Detention is more than one teacher's journey, it's a call to action for everyone who believes in the rights of all kids to have an education - even behind bars.
'Honest and courageous . . . This book is the report card we've all known was coming.' GABBIE STROUD, bestselling author of Teacher©2026 Ralph Jackman (P)2026 W. F. Howes ltd.
