Description
Over-representation of Aboriginal men and women in New South Wales prisons is growing. In March 2023, almost one third of people in prison in New South Wales were Aboriginal. This situation occurs in the context of plans that aim to reduce the rate of Aboriginal incarceration by at least 15% by 2031.
This paper presents an update on factors driving over-representation of Aboriginal people in prison in New South Wales and current efforts to reduce it. It outlines public discussions on alternatives to imprisonment and recaps key inquiry recommendations on how to reduce Aboriginal incarceration.
