Justice Policy

“Our current systems of rehabilitation are inherently broken and unjust. Prisons are not concerned with correction, only with punishment and misery. While the abolishment of private prisons was a good first step, there is much more that must be done. The plan presented here will help push New Zealand towards a more fair and equal justice system.”

- gavingrotegut, Former Minister of Justice
