Episode Details

Tasmanias government unveils a draft plan for a new youth detention center in Pontville, aiming to replace the troubled Ashley Youth Detention Centre. The new facility, part of a ten-year youth justice system reform, focuses on a child-first, offender-second approach, featuring small, home-like houses and individual care plans. The plan also addresses the high rate of Aboriginal youth in detention, with cultural mentors, yarning spaces, and community programs. Public consultation is open until April seventeenth, with Ashleys closure now expected by 2028.
