A new Salvation Army report is putting a spotlight on why an alarming number of ex-prisoners go on to reoffend.

In New Zealand, more than 43% of people released from prison end up back there within two years. Almost two-thirds reoffend.

The Salvos reckon more focus is needed on ‘reintegration’ services, to make sure people return to the community with stability, support, and resources.

Today on The Front Page, The Salvation Army’s social policy mission officer, Ian Hutson, is with us to discuss why our current system is failing to build the "home base" that so many people need - to break the cycle of re-imprisonment for good.
