minus-squareKiwiguylinkfedilink1•1 year ago@Floofah looks like a catchy slogan for a policy essentially aimed at devolution of justice power to iwi. Really though, I wonder if we would willingly invent prisons again if we didn’t already have them? I used to work in courts and it was crazy how many criminals were either fetal alcohol/intellectual disability or suffered head injury. The latter always scared me, normal folk just a car crash or ladder fall away from a changed life.
