Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv) - Criminal Justice NDM6665 Jenny
Rathbone (Cardiff Central) Bethan
Sayed (South Wales West) David
Melding (South Wales Central) To propose
that the National Assembly for Wales: 1.
Regrets that: a)
criminal justice policies for England and Wales have failed to halt the rise of
the number of people incarcerated; b)
the conditions in which too many Welsh prisoners are held, highlighted by the
recent Inspection reports of HMP Swansea and HMP Liverpool, are not conducive
to rehabilitation; c)
47 per cent of prisoners re-offend within one year; d)
most of the 2007 Corston Report recommendations on the treatment of women
offenders have not been implemented, ignoring the evidence that the
imprisonment of women for relatively minor offences causes major, costly and
unjustifiable disruption to their children’s lives. 2.
Calls on the Welsh and UK Governments to: a)
trial alternative models of punishment of non-violent Welsh offenders in Wales
in order to prevent the disruption of family, housing and employment links
which are essential ingredients of successful rehabilitation; b) promote
better joined up working between health, housing and criminal justice services
to combat the escalation of homelessness and mental illness amongst people
leaving prison; c) develop a
distinct Welsh penal policy based on the evidence of what works; 3. Calls for
the eventual devolution of criminal justice, along with the resources to deliver
a preventative, restorative rehabilitation of offenders that puts an end to the
revolving door between prison and re-offending. Home Office - The Corston Report Women in Prison - The Corston Report 10 Years On Supporters Minutes: The item started at 16.09 Voting on the
