Holes in the justice system affect us all.
That's the message from advocates for reform, JustSpeak, after a damning report from the Safe and Effective Justice Advisory Group shows the system is failing at every level.
JustSpeak director, Tania Sawicki Mead, told Kate Hawkesby it doesn't just impact on criminals and prisoners.
She says the justice system is failing the community as a whole, often leaving people worse off at the other end.
And Sawicki Mead says it's also failing victims, who often miss out on the support they need.
