NSW keeps the prison pipeline pumping

A secret Government committee is planning to build a major new jail in Camellia, Sydney. I wonder whether any of the interest groups that will benefit considered reducing the number of prisoners by decriminalising drugs, following Portugal's resounding success in that regard? 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.
