Response to State Plan |
| In November,
2006, the NSW Government released a state
plan outlining the key priority areas for the Government.
Issues related to community safety, criminal justice and law
and order are key components of this plan. |
| |
| The
Beyond Bars Alliance has formulated a response to these areas
covered in the plan. |

| Stop
the Nowra Prison |
| The
recent government proposal to develop a new Correctional Centre
on the South Coast of NSW is essentially a promise to breed
more crime. The Shoalhaven community has been enticed to accept
the development of the prison on the basis that it will result
in an injection into the local economy. The $130 million fund
could be redirected towards important community needs such
as education, health, transport, and rehabilitation facilities.
