If we hold that imprisonment has failed to keep our communities safe and then we move on to what has come out in the very recent past in terms of literal abuse being committed in our prisons by this already failed system, we have findings of inhumane treatment in our women's prison, we had on Mother's Day revelations of women being chained as they give birth, we have the Waikeria Prison protest that was based on some of the inhumane conditions that have been found, and we have the idea that crime has not come down, nobody is being kept safe. The failure there being rehabilitation, being the step that our corrections system needs to take to move us to a place where, like the Nordic countries and like Scandinavian models, we can minimise imprisonment as a model and we can move to the things that we know actually work, those being mental health treatment, drug and alcohol treatment, literacy programmes, and systems that apply across the nation in a standardised way and in an evidence-based way that will actually bring down recidivism and will bring down issues with safety in our communities but will actually move away from imprisonment.
