I have a follow-on question. It was mentioned that there was not enough time to work with people who went to prison, but many people who commit offences do not go to prison in any event. Ms Joyce mentioned the justice plan. What specific alternatives could or should be deployed instead of prison for people who go to prison habitually for relatively minor matters?
