Māori Party co-leader Rawiri Waititi says it’s time to look at alternatives to prison.
The Waiariki MP came under fire this week from Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis for his support for rioting Waikeria prisoners.
He stands by his actions, and says a judgment this week on the inhumane treatment of two wāhine in Auckland Women’s Prison shows the system is absolutely broken.
He says with the majority of inmates both male and female being Māori, it’s time for iwi, hapū and Māori communities look at alternatives to incarceration.
