[RNLD] Indigenous language programs in prisons

I am interested if any indigenous language programs in prisons have been
documented?

I.e. programs that address prisoners who speak indigenous languages and
allow them to undertake educational or other prison activities using their
languages. These could involve language revitalisation or fluent speakers.
I'm in Australia myself, but I'd also be interested in indigenous languages
in other countries.

I have heard anecdotally about a couple such programs, but I don't know if
any have been written about. I have recently been involved in trialling
such a program in Darwin prison, so I'm interested in what has been done
elsewhere.
