Показать описание
A Corrections fund to help former prisoners remove gang-related hand and face tattoos is almost depleted.
The $100,000 allocated for the programme was supposed to last three years, but it's been so popular that just $27,000 is left.
The programme sees prisoners apply to receive funding to have their tattoos removed.
A former gang member says the service is crucial for opening doors after release.
