Should non-violent prisoners be released from jail in order to reduce overcrowding?

Yes, but it should be determined case by case in a court of law

No, but we should both build more prisons AND increase funding to offer education and skill building services for prisoners

The criminal action by police checked camera legs in keys roles by legend former US president Donald Trump and former UK prime minister Boris Johnson talk white House dramatic

No, move serious offenders to a more compact prison with less luxuries until they are nearing the end of their sentence to reintegration to the current prisons for rehabilktation

Yes, but they should be monitored and have to attend educational or skill building services to get into the work force

Yes and we should offer more funding for better education and skill building services and addressing mental health for prisoners

Yes, and we should increase funding for ongoing education, support and wrap around whanau services in the community

Yes, put them under house arrest and into community service on a daily basis, preferably focussing on reparation to their victims

Why are we imprisoning people that pose no threat to the community in the first place?

They should be working in prison and earning and learning on there

No but encourage them to do volantary work and invest money into building their capability/skills so that they can manage when theyre released.

Yes, on a case by case basis. Education and support should be offered to assist prisoners to re-engage in their communities.

Yes, but they need to be released into a support system that offers real rehabilitation and career opportunities.

Yes, alongside an increase in funding for education and skill building services.

Yes provided they have access to transformative correction resources

Yes, but individualised programs should be created to support them

Shouldn’t be just to avoid overcrowding. But better measures to see if they’re really ready to reintegrate in society and move forward.

That is overly complicated and my opinion isn't here.

It should depend on what they’ve done. White collar crime is just as bad as murder rape so people have to be made accountable.

No, but trauma informed therapy should be made available to inmates to heal childhood trauma.

No but should be put in maximum prison to each them a lesson so they don’t want to go back

Yes so long as their crime was not large scale fraud or mafia activities

It would depend on the severity of their conviction i.e. a drug dealer as opposed to a recreational user

Case by case basis with level of risk to community always paramount

Too complex, depends on the victim

increase funding for rehabilitation in prison

They should be monitored by electronic bravely on house arrest but be allowed out for community service.

It depends on the severity of their crimes as well as behaviour within prison

No, but lets do better to creat environments where our people dont feel they have to fight to live

depends on what the prisoners do

$150k plus a year to keep these non contributors in jail - free tertiary education, free meals, free gym - none of us get that, and they don't pay maintenance, and their houses are still increasing in capital gains while being rented out... wtf... if non violent and non threat nor gang affiliations they should be out and working with a high payback to society, the children they have brought into the world and contributing to the wellbeing of the country.

No, build more prisons if required and focus on social issues to prevent crime

No, build better mental health screening services and rehab facilities to direct offender to correct treatment instead of sending them to prison where they become better criminals or more mentally unstable.

Yes, but community based sentence/probation etc still applies AND not repeat offenders.

Put them into compulsory volunteering at city mission, retirement homes etc

Criminal justice for non-violent crimes should be resolved through therapeutic approaches rather than punitive.

Yes, Theraputic communities should be established to support offenders to reduce their chances of repeat offending

Yes and rehabilitative programmes should be provided and required.

Yes, but not all non violent ones. For example paeodophiles and rapists

depends on their crime, anything harmful of a person / minor should stay in there

Yea but they should provide community service and be put into education and skill building opportunities daily.

Yes, but they should be placed in a period of probation and rehabilitation to reduce the chances of reoffending

Not a one size fits all question

We need a system in place where the typical prison system is irradicated and people get the help they need. In a well-functioning society where people aren't struggling to put food on the table people don't have the need to commit crimes. Violent actions are a product of a poor society that doesn't support the health and wellbeing on the lower class. Locking people up for being a product of their environment isn't the answer.

Yes, as long as they don't have any risk to the community.

Yes as long as they are good people

Yes, but not if they’ve committed any sex offences

Not if they're a danger/hinderce to society. i.e. repeat burglars or rapists/pedophiles.

Yes but they should be supported to thrive in the community
