Are you just going to release prisoners onto the streets?
Answer
The New Zealand criminal justice system already “releases prisoners onto the streets”. Under The Opportunities Party’s policies there will be more money available to help ex-prisoners reintegrate into the community. The Parole Board, which manage prisoners on long-term sentences (more than two years) back into the community, will have more tools to do that.
