Jails crisis: Focus on the causes of crime, say experts
Victoria’s prisons are on track to be at full capacity by 2019, according to a report from the Victorian Ombudsman, but there's not enough focus on the causes of crime, experts say.
Victoria’s prisons are failing to properly function and are on track to be at full capacity by 2019, according to a report from the Victorian Ombudsman. The report also discovered half of Victoria’s prisoners come from just 6 per cent of the state's postcodes, with the average prisoner unemployed, battling addiction and from a disadvantaged background.
