The mass incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders should be a civil rights issue, one of the pressing issues of our generation but our Governments – one after another – continue to fail to translate this pressing issue as a national priority. The incarceration rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is an abomination – moral, political and otherwise and bespeaks of diabolical racism unfettered. In Western Australia, the mother of jailers, one in 13 of Aboriginal adult males is in prison today. A disturbing statistic is that one in 6 of the State’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders living have been to jail.
