Plans are in the works to cut back on the use of paper in the justice system.
\\nNZ Herald\'s Open Justice reports the Te Au Reka project will be progressively introduced this year, to create a fully digital document and case management system.
\\nIt includes prisoners having devices in their cells to contact their lawyers and people being able to use online portals to interact with the justice system.
\\nCorrections Association President, Floyd du Plessis told Mike Hosking there\'s a lot of paper used in the sector.
\\nHe says with every prisoner there are sometimes six or seven files of paper that need to be manually carried with them when they move around the country.
