Reducing Indigenous incarceration, FPDN Project Manager Ashlee Kearney speaks to Radio National

Australian black deaths in custody will be reduced if the number of indigenous people in prison is reduced.

We look at a preventative program that’s been proven to work, Justice Reinvest; and hear why disability is such a significant factor in why people end up in custody, and how they fare there.

Guests:

Sarah Hopkins, managing solicitor with the NSW Aboriginal Legal Service and co-chair of Justice Reinvest

Ashlee Kearney, Project Manager with the First Peoples Disability Network
