MARK MITCHELL WANTS TO WORK WITH MĀORI TO HELP REHABILITATE MĀORI INMATES
“The $78m investment is prisoners on remand who haven’t had programmes. We are focussed on getting inmates real life skills and qualifications and the best fighting chance to rejoin society.”
Mitchell said this is where Māori and iwi organisation can play a huge part.
“Maori and iwi have a huge and critical part to play,” he said.
“And I welcome as much engagement and leadership with iwi, hapu and Māori as possible because they are stakeholders and we all want people to come out of the justice system positive and not be recycled back through the prisons.....
