I come there from two angles.
So, if I were to design the
criminal justice system from scratch
there
would be no private sector in it.
But that's utopian.
So the more pragmatic side of me
thinks let's look at the criminal
justice
system let's look at where it's
outsourced
and let's look at pockets of best
practice
and see if we can create
institutional
environments where that good
practice can
breathe. That means,
for me, where an individual for
instance
sees an opportunity to do something
good for a
person but doesn't because their
contracts
maybe prohibits and from doing it,
having some sort of mechanism
whereby
they can still do what's
right for the individual in front of
them
and not be penalized by their line
manager,
make sure that their line manager
isn't then penalized
by the director higher up the
hierarchy
and then make sure that the contract
holder
which may well be a public sector
institution
doesn't penalise everyone for
this individual on the ground this
probation
this private probation officer,
this private security guards,
or private prison guard,
trying to do the right thing.
