Prison Reform

 

“Beyond the Holding Tank”

Social Policy and Parliamentary Unit, Salvation Army, New Zealand. February 2006

Public debate around prison policy is often based on rhetoric and emotion rather than experience and evidence. Individuals and groups tend to be polarised or labelled as supporting 'offenders' or 'victims' or being 'soft' or 'tough' on crime. The aim of this discussion document is to cut through these false dichotomies.

 

Kim Workman

Toward an Agenda of Prison Reform - Prison Fellowship of New Zealand (2006)

Kim has just returned from a fact finding tour of the UK, Netherlands and Finald, with the Minister of Corrections. He uses that experience to reflect on the purpose of imprisonment, and offers alternative ideas to the way New Zealanders think about prisons. He concludes by recommending a four point strategy for change, Calling for a public debate about the reality of prison and imprisonment, and active public education program, seeking viable alternatives to imprisonment, and active involvement by the community.
