Issues
Current statistics show that the recidivism rate of Australian prisoners returning to Prison sits at 51.5% returning to corrective services as of 2023. At APU, we call for prisoner voices for changes within the system that support proper reintegration into the community.
With careful analysis, we believe these key issues help address (but not limited to) the trending shortcomings of the prison system. Through the support of unions, church bodies, Indigenous organisations, legal bodies and MP’s, we call for reform within prison cells that promote education and opportunities for individuals incarcerated to help decrease recidivism.
