Driver's licence for offenders 'a real silver bullet'

Published: March 12, 2021, 5:20 a.m.

A free driving programme for offenders has ambitions to start instructing prisoners on how to get a driving licence. For now, the programme run by charity the Howard League helps people on the outside get a driver's licence - parolees, those on probation, or people on home detention and community service. The organisation celebrated its success in west Auckland today, where they've helped 700 people. Chen Liu was there.
