After the Labour led government came to power in 2017, Andrew Little was appointed Minister of Justice and made numerous public statements about the the need to cut the prison population by 30% over the next 15 years.
I have created a new website devoted to this topic.
Time to cut the prison population
Here are some of the topics covered on the site:
Why does New Zealand lock up so many people?
Tell the Government we don’t need another prison
How the murder of Christie Marceau led to 1,500 more people in prison
Why the prison population needs to be cut in the next six years
