Te Pāti毛利人希望到2040年结束新西兰的监狱,理由是未能减少重犯和系统性不平等。 Te Pāti Māori wants to end prisons in New Zealand by 2040, citing failure to reduce re-offending and systemic inequality.

Te Pāti 毛利族共同领导人Rawiri Waititit为该党到2040年废除新西兰监狱的目标辩护,指出目前的监狱无法减少重犯,忽视贫穷和不平等等根源。 Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi defended the party’s goal to abolish prisons in New Zealand by 2040, saying current prisons fail to reduce re-offending and ignore root causes like poverty and inequality. 他引用了挪威的康复模式,并强调了立即采取的一些步骤,例如废除三击法,取消毒品的刑罪化。 He cited Norway’s rehabilitative model and emphasized immediate steps like repealing the three-strikes law and decriminalizing drugs. 缔约国认为,系统性改革,包括住房和社会保障改革,可以创造一个没有必要监禁的社会。 The party argues that systemic reform, including housing and social security changes, can create a society where incarceration is unnecessary. 尽管劳工反对该计划,但该提案引发了关于司法改革的全国辩论,特别是考虑到毛利人在监狱中的比例过高。 While Labour opposes the plan, the proposal has sparked national debate on justice reform, particularly given the overrepresentation of Māori in prisons.
