Corrections is prepared for a projected spike in our prison numbers. 

The Ministry of Justice projects the prison population will increase 36% by 2035 to more than 14,000 people. 

New policies such as the Sentencing Reform Act and the reinstatement of the Three Strikes law are pushing the projected growth. 

Corrections Custodial Services Commissioner Leigh Marsh told Mike Hosking they prepare for a lot of variability in prison populations. 

He says in 2018 we had more than 10,000 prisoners, followed by a drop and now another rise.
