The party's plan also includes investment in Māori Legal Aid, reinstating the right for all prisoners to vote, and decriminalisation of drug use and possession.
Sorrry Ma’am, we know your ex husband is trying to kill you but it would be inhumane to lock him in prison. We can offer you a place in our maximum security safehouse though, it has armed guards, windows barred and lockdown every night.
It’s not about ruling out detaining people. It’s that prison is a terrible answer to the problem. Some person thinks that crime is acceptable. Let’s put them in a building full other other people who think that crime is acceptable, so the only people the associate with are criminals. It’s a system that makes more criminals, and it will be seen as obviously a bad idea in 100 years.
No, you don’t get it. We’re going to rehabilitate them with the power of understanding, and something about decolonisation. And then keep a really close eye on them.
I mean, there’s a argument to be made for better rehabilitation and training for prisoners, but this is ridiculous.

Yeah, prisons are a waste of money. Better to compost criminals instead, thus they will be able to provide some benefit to the society.

Your first sentence mocks and derides anybody who advocated for rehabilitation and training of prisoners. What a sleazy way to doublespeak.
