If there's successful intervention programs keeping both the youth & adult population out of prison's they're quietly defunded & shut down. A good example was in the NT where an intervention program ran for 15yrs having approximately 120 youth's go through the program per yr & was even endorsed by the NT judiciary because of it's success rate & only two individuals reoffending was defunded in 2021 & shut down in mid 2022. The NT government is spending 32 million upgrading the 22 bed facility in Alice Springs which will add modular cells for a total of 96 beds which are currently being built by NSW inmate's. The private prison lobby want recidivism rates to increase beyond the current 42.1% returning to prison & 51.5% returning to corrective services. Sapian has some real influence amongst those who are at a high risk of committing crime & incarceration. He can potentially influence people away from committing crime, reoffending even potentially inspiring other people to work with & prevent potential future criminal's.

Spanian is like a rough and ready Andrews Tate, without the huge ego. I grew up on a housing estate and have seen real poverty in families. We all need to encourage and support our young people. I have the most respect for Spanian. He doesn’t support victimhood. Much love from England. ❤

Good truthful interview and spanian handled himself very well and one thing is he doesn’t constantly swear I think he could be great at speaking at youth detention centres
