NSW keeps the prison pipeline pumping

A secret Government committee is planning to build a major new jail in Camellia, Sydney.

Then maybe we would not need a new jail.

I don't really wonder – this government cannot join the dots between an overcrowded 'justice' system and unnecessary criminalisation of people committing victimless crimes.
