| Subject: OZschwitz gulag: Appalling rates of indigenous imprisonment Thu Jun 25, 2009 4:42 am | |
| THE appalling rate of indigenous imprisonment, which has almost doubled since the Royal Commission Into Aboriginal Deaths In Custody, has led to renewed calls for radical changes in the handling of indigenous offenders.
Eighteen years after the Royal Commission, the number of indigenous women in prisons has more than tripled to make up one-third of all inmates, and more than half of the 10 to 17-year-olds in juvenile detention are indigenous.
Eighty-three per cent of the Northern Territory's inmates are indigenous, and in Western Australia it is 41 per cent. NSW, with 20 per cent, has the fourth highest proportion.
Drug and alcohol abuse is a major cause, according to the Australian National Council on Drugs, and more treatment programs for indigenous offenders are sorely needed.
