The NZ rate id higher than many countries, including France, Turkey, Spain, UK, Canada, Italy, Germany, Japan and even Australia!
These are for 2012-13. I could not get the subsequent figures. Would be interesting to see what the incarceration rate has been in the last two years for New Zealand.
Good to see Chris is reminding us not to let off the pressure to scrap the hidious TPPA corporate plan to rule us for 25yrs it is such a scarry thought where local gvernment will be reduced to sharpening pencils for the corporate world to rob and pillage till we are bankrupted.
And are these the next prison guards, courtesy of DARPA?
