new era in corrections
The Territory Government has invested $120 million over five years to implement a new era in corrections, a package of initiatives aimed at breaking the cycle of reoffending.
The new era in corrections delivers:
- New prison facilities - including a new prison and Mental Health Behaviour Management Facility in Darwin and a Work Camp in the Barkly region
- Tough new court orders to get offenders into rehabilitation and work
- New electronic surveillance of offenders
- Better reintegration support
- More rehabilitation beds and treatment programs
