Range of 'positive incentives' for prisoner to break cycle of offending. Examples; Read a novel, maintain 'enhanced' status each month, maintain 'employment', complete distance learning, complete restorative justice or behavioural or drug rehabilitation course to receive reduction in sentence days.

More details

This should incentivise prisoners to reform, reduce numbers in overcrowded prisons, increase literacy and numeracy levels, reduce number of prisoner-on-staff/prisoner assaults, create a foundation for change through lasting behavioural correction, be a more realistic 'real-world' model where hard work, compliance with rules and authority and atonement lowers risk of reoffending, and opens prisoner up to better and greater variety of employment opportunities and puts onus on prisoner to change.
