KELVIN DAVIS: 'NGĀPUHI 'MOST INCARCERATED TRIBE IN THE WORLD'
Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis says his Ngāpuhi iwi is probably the most incarcerated tribe in the world and he has a goal to change that.
Mr Davis said Māori make up over 50 percent of the prison population, and he wants that number reduced.
"Of that 50 , half again, are from Ngāpuhi, my own tribe, so this is personal.
"My tribe of Ngāpuhi is probably the most incarcerated tribe in the world, per head of population, so we really have to look at what we're going to do differently as a country, to turn these figures around.".....
