Corrections has released December 2020 prison statistics.

My question is, how do you react to this graph?

Prisoner numbers at December 2020

There are around 1,500 fewer people in prison than the Justice Sector forecast there would be.

Does that inspire you? Does it make you feel less safe? I mean, everything is about feelings today isn’t it?

Criminal behaviour doesn’t change in the space of a year. Only active policy to reduce the prison population by device (eg earlier parole) can create a deviation of this magnitude.
