Continuing their discussion about the new jail to be built in Parramatta, Nick Franklin and Mike Holland ask who it is that goes to jail, noting that those that probably should do time are the least likely to be incarcerated, whereas those who commit minor offences, such as indigenous youth, are vastly overrepresented. Mike reminds us of the enormous amount of corporate crime that goes unpunished - such as wage theft, the exploitation of migrant workers, and the outcome of the Royal commission into banking, which despite scandalous findings, did not result in one person going to jail.
