Making Justice Work

“Making Justice Work” in the Northern
Territory brings together a wide range of groups with a common interest in
effective responses to crime in our community.

[Justice Reform Initiative @JailingsFailing]

An important day for the Northern Territory.
Repealing mandatory sentencing is a significant step in reshaping the NT's criminal justice system to one built on evidence of what works, supporting safer communities and reducing expensive and ineffective overreliance on prisons.

It's 6 years since coming to power with a promise to repeal mandatory sentencing and raise the age of criminal responsibility, but congratulations to A-G @chanseypaechMLA and Territory Labor for taking these courageous steps down that road. https://t.co/m20ZQJQavh via @TheNTNews

A long-awaited, much-needed and highly commendable decision. For the record, we deplore spithoods on children. We also deplore spitting on police (and indeed, on anyone). https://t.co/EvJqLkmRyb

NEW: Today we release a new report looking at the Northern Territory, a global leader in overincarceration. The number of people in NT prisons has 🔺 by more than 30% over the past decade - but almost 3/4 of people in prison have been there before. 1/2

@NTCOSS ceo Deborah Di Natale said @AMSANTaus and social services had been working in good faith @TerritoryLabor to fix the system and implement the Royal Commission recommendations but instead there has been a 4000% increase in self-harm incidents. #closedondale @ZiziAverill

What does putting a child behind bars do for their development, and their future? These kids and their communities deserve a better approach, supported by evidence. More in our new report on the NT here: https://t.co/RpSE0e4PVl #closedondale #raisetheage

You won't see a story like this in the NT, where there is no available discount for a plea of guilty to murder, and no incentive to plead. End mandatory sentencing now. NSW man pleads guilty to murder of Canberra man Glenn Walewicz in Phillip last year https://t.co/UK2orMJoT4

Making Justice Work is proud to support @JailingsFailing, and we’re excited about working together in 2022 to reduce the NT’s unaffordable, unjustifiable, unconscionable incarceration rate.

“At a cost of more than $123,000 per prisoner per year…not to mention the human toll of high crime rates, investing in evidence-backed measures to tackle the underlying issues … is critical”
