LAW AND ORDER PLATFORM FOR THE NORTHERN TERRITORY

2 ADDITIONAL SUPERMAX PRISONS, 5 NEW PRISONS FOR REGIONAL TOWNS AND 100 BOOT CAMPS ACROSS THE TERRITORY IN ADDITION TO CHAIN GANGS

A tougher approach to law and order in the Northern Teritory is needed after we are witnessing a increasing number of brazen crimes across the Northern Territory.

In the package includes a new 1000 bed supermax prison to be built in Darwin and another 800 bed supermax prison to be built at Alice Springs in addition to the existing prisons in these cities and 5 new regular prisons to be built in regional areas of Northern Territory. They will be built at Gove, Katherine, Tennant Creek, Pine Creek and Wadye, and they will be 800 bed prisons each for those towns.

A supermax prison ensures that prisoners are kept in their cell alone for 23 hours a day with 1 hour of exercise to fill the hour with activity, That routine will apply in the entire time spent in the supermax prison.

100 boot camps will be set up in the entire Northern Territory in 100 remote areas across the Territory and chain gangs will be set up to work on the highways, hospitaks and dams across the Northern Territory.

Those prisons will not have airconditioning and they will not have 24 hour power in those prisons meaning that life will be really uncomfortable for the prisoners.

The truth in sentencing will be in full force meaning that parole will be outlawed meaning the criminal will have to serve 100 percent of the sentence behind bars.

This package signals that crime even brazen crime will not be tolerated and the community demands truth in sentencing saying they want justice fully served.

MY LAW AND ORDER POLICY WILL OUTLAW SUSPENSED SENTENCES, PAROLE, MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENTS FOR CRIMINALS, PLEA & VERDICT OF INSANITY AND OVERHAUL TIME SERVED IN PRISON

In response to anger over calls for a mental health assessment for the Norway gunman I am outlining my law and order policy. If have my way the mental health assessments for all criminals accused of crime will be abolished with the plea and verdict of insanity abolished as well. The reason for the exclusion of mental health checks for criminals is because the criminals are using mental health checks and a plea of insanity in a strong bid to have the prison sentence reduced or avoiding prison altogether and that is totally unacceptable.

Also under the shakeup, suspended sentences, home detention, parole and time already served prior to sentencing will also be abolished meaning that everybody guilty of a crime punishable by prison must serve the full sentence behind bars in prison. Also the first day of the prison should be the day the judge announces the sentence and the time already served prior to sentencing will no longer be counted toward the total sentences meaning the first day of the sentence is the same day as when the judge announces the prison sentence.

Also concurrent sentencing for multiple offences will be replaced by consucetive sentencing meaning that once the criminal has served the time for the 1st offence he still has to serve time for the remaining offences, on top of the existing sentence for one particular offence.

It goes to show I won't be soft on crime. Those laws will be more in par with the United states.
