You might have noticed in the NSW Budget 2015-16 that $45 million has been allocated for new and expanded jails… While there is growing support for justice reinvestment within the NSW Government, this allocation of funding shows we’ve still got a way to go in our campaign for a smarter approach to criminal justice in NSW. If we’re successful in our campaign for justice reinvestment, we’ll see future budgets redirecting funding away from imprisonment, towards community programs that are effective in keeping Aboriginal young people out of jail. But we can’t do it without your support! Click on the ‘Donate now‘ button to help us continue our work campaigning for the adoption of a justice reinvestment framework by the NSW Govt, and supporting communities like Bourke to implement justice reinvestment.
