Gerry Georgatos // Abominably, more than 100,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have been to jail | The Stringer: More than 500,000 Australians still living have been to prison. Therefore one in 50 Australians have been to prison. However, of the 500,000, more than 100,000 are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders; First Nations persons. Up to 120,000 have been to prison. With more than 700,000 Australians identifying as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, more than one in 7 have been to prison. From a racialised lens this is the world’s highest jailing rate. Australia’s First Nations peoples are jailed at a higher rate than the Black American jailing rate.
