 European Network for Indigenous Australian Rights: news
Welcome to Yetta Dhinnakkal — “the right pathway” — an experimental jail deep in the gnarled scrub and desert 500 miles northwest of Sydney with a lofty ambition: to rehabilitate offenders and reduce a fl incarceration rate that is 17 times higher than among whites.
Yetta, set on a 26,000-acre former sheep farm near Brewarrina, was opened four years ago on the recommendation of the 1990s Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, which sought ways to reverse both the high crime rate in Aboriginal communities and the large number of indigenous deaths in prison.
While 40% of inmates at ordinary prisons tended to commit another crime within two years of being released, only 20% of Yetta’s inmates reoffend, according to the analysis.
