Reform the prison system and shift its focus towards restorative justice.
To correct previous failings to rehabilitate inmates of British prisons, adopting a restorative justice model as seen in the Norwegian system, thereby reducing reoffending rates, alongside those of self-harm and suicide.
Our current prison system is failing our inmates and our society. Reoffending rates are a shocking 49% within a year, compared to only 20% in Norway. Our cost cutting and quick fixes lead to higher costs in the long run, as well as leaving our citizens at risk. Furthermore, there is a mental health crises within our prisons, with record high suicide and self harm rates. The government has a responsibility to make a change.
