Te Pāti Māori proposes ending New Zealand's prisons by 2040 with community-led justice, but major parties oppose it over safety concerns.
Te Pāti Māori has unveiled a plan to abolish prisons in New Zealand by 2040, advocating for community-led justice models focused on healing and restorative practices, especially for Māori disproportionately affected by the justice system.
The party proposes creating a Māori Justice Authority, ending youth bootcamps, repealing harsh laws like Three Strikes 2.0, and expanding mental health and addiction services.
However, Labour and the Green Party have rejected the abolition idea, citing public safety and the need for proven alternatives, as prison populations are projected to exceed capacity by 2027 amid rising incarceration rates.
