Against New Zealand justice system (harsher punishments for criminals)
|
I looked on the Department of Corrections and giving criminals rehabilitation is actually being considered severely, along with pairing up with iwi and community groups, interventions delivered by probation staff, education, jobs skills and working prisons, giving criminals real jobs on release and tackling alcohol and drug abuse. Working in these specific areas will help offenders address/think, talk about the reasons behind their offending and give them the skills, training and experience to make positive changes in their lives. By strengthening rehabilitation and re-integration opportunities for offenders we can reduce re-offending and improve public safety, while contributing to reducing crime overall in New Zealand..

I also reviewed an article on The Stuff which pointed out that, Prisoners will each cost the taxpayer more than $92,000 this year, 63 per cent more than they did in 2001. According to figures supplied to Parliament's law and order select committee by the Corrections Department, the cost per inmate is projected to climb to $253 a day - or $92,345 a year - in the 2007-08 year. In 2001, it was $155 a day, or $56,575 a year. The new cost is "higher than the cost of a room at many top hotels with breakfast thrown in", Mr Power said. Corrections said the increases had been driven by the cost of building prisons in Northland, Otago, Auckland Region Women's Prison and Spring Hill Prison in Waikato. The cost of building the four prisons ballooned from $400 million signed off in 2002, to $890 million - a blowout of $490 million. The number of inmates hit a record high of 8076 in May, forcing authorities to accommodate some prisoners in police stations and court cells. As well as the building of the new prisons - which will add more than 1600 new beds - a further 773 beds have been approved for construction at the existing Rimutaka, Tongariro/Rangipo, Wanganui and Christchurch prisons, the spokeswoman said.

Long term effects on local community and community development.(University Of Canterbury) (Pages 12- 37)
We also read a part of a pupils point of view and research from Canterbury university which points out that. Related to this issue is the fear expressed by residents of potential prison communities that property values will fall. It may be however that property values increase due to the increased demand for accommodation.
Some residents fear that the presence of a prison in their community will affect their general quality of life. The presence of a prison or a prison siting may cause disharmony between residents, also may increase urban growth, and bring about significant population changes. These consequences may be undesirable to residents who are often migrants from the 'city' who have made a 'lifestyle' choice to live in a 'rural' environment.
