Resources & 
Education 

Pillars Ka Pou Whakahou has resources and educational material on the criminal justice system. We have multiple resources to better support and understand the lived experience of children and families of people in prison. We are open to more opportunities to join the wider criminal justice conversation and welcome further korero on internal resources that can be made available.
