PRISONS ARE NO ANSWER

THE prisons are full, and the NT Labor Government is spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars jailing 10 people involved with the
Network Against Prohibition (NAP).

If prison numbers are increasing rapidly, could it be for their
position on drugs in our society?

Sensible drug laws will stop prison overcrowding. The current
policies are unable to stop drug misuse and associated crime.

Prohibition needs to be debated openly by our politicians. Its repeal
would reduce the prison population and help facilitate positive
change in our communities.

NAPs "crimes" were non-violent direct-action protests. Just like the
'70s. If people can be jailed for thought crimes, how many prisons
need to be built.
