Crimanon critical
PA Wellington The public believed the myth that a person sent to prison was a menace, whereas a person sentenced to periodic detention for the same crime was safe to know as he was seen every day, the chairman of Crimanon (Mr R. Harris) told a current affairs group at Mount Eden Prison recently. “Crimanon has advocated
for years the introduction of alternative sentences,” Mr Harris said. “We need an education system that gives young people the tools they can use in life and thus break the truancy-social welfare-Bor-stal-prison cycle. Most of all we need a real effort to educate: the public in the futility of punishment as a workable system,” he said.
