NEW ZEALAND - The previous government ignored official advice about the pressure on prison space, Corrections Minister Judith Collins said today. Ms Collins said briefing papers from the department identified two key challenges: ongoing pressure on prison capacity and strong growth in the community offender population. She said the papers showed the prison population started increasing in 2003 when it stood at less than 6000. "Although the introduction of new community sentences has had an impact on the prison population, it is forecast to rise to around 10,700 by 2016," Ms Collins said. "An immediate concern is the prospect that existing prison beds will be exhausted by mid-2010." Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
