@Floofah looks like a catchy slogan for a policy essentially aimed at devolution of justice power to iwi.

Really though, I wonder if we would willingly invent prisons again if we didn't already have them?

I used to work in courts and it was crazy how many criminals were either fetal alcohol/intellectual disability or suffered head injury.

The latter always scared me, normal folk just a car crash or ladder fall away from a changed life.
