A charity helping ACT prisoners reintegrate into society has asked for almost double its usual funding in a submission to the territory budget as the government warns of tightened spending.
Prisoners Aid ACT has called for an additional $150,000 in funding from the territory government to combat increasingly complex cases and a sharp increase in the cost of transport, accommodation and food.
The charity supports people in the justice system and their families, with offices at the ACT Magistrates Court and the Alexander Maconochie Centre.
