Speaking with @BenCarrollMP about @BPIBard was a pleasure. Knowing that he’s working to stem rising incarceration rates while Australia only has 8,000 people in prison blew me away. They have a totally different attitude toward prison down under. I’m gratefu for your work Sir.https://twitter.com/bencarrollmp/status/1223456614759354368 …
8000 people in prison may be just for Victoria (1 Aust state with approx 6.5mill people). 40,000+ people in prison across Aust. My state (NSW) has 13,500+ adults in prison. Ben Carroll is Minister for Corrections in Victoria. Would be great to see something like BPI here.
