The new Northern Territory government has today revealed a major, as yet uncosted, four year plan to build new jails and work camps to try and ease the pressure on the NT’s strained prison system. As part of the plan, youth detainees will be moved from Alice Springs to Darwin, which is already attracting criticism for taking young Aboriginal people from their land and families.
