John Ellis writes: "Shirley Jacobs was a very popular folk singer and anti-Vietnam war activist. While she performed regularly for the prisoners at Pentridge she met and fell in love with Joey Hamilton, a long-term prisoner who blew the whistle on corrupt police and instigated the Beach Inquiry into the Victoria Police. Some 20-odd police were convicted of corruption but none ever served time. Shirley went on a hunger strike in an attempt to have Joey released from Pentridge."
