Kelvin Davis: Labour's Corrections Spokesperson on the Government's move to lower its prison population reduction topic - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Labour's Corrections Spokesperson is unfazed by Government's move to drop its prison population reduction target.  

The party has scrapped its 2017 promise to bring numbers down by 30% within 15 years. 

Kelvin Davis told Mike Hosking that they were facing a prison capacity crisis in 2017, but that's changed.  

He says re-sentencing rates after 12 months have dropped 11% since 2017, showing there's been a number of success stories. 

Davis is fairly relaxed about the Government's position on prison numbers.
