The provincial government says it recently managed to reduce court backlogs and divert more cases to restorative justice, which also helped reduce the number of people in custody. In an update to its criminal justice modernization strategy, which was announced in March 2018, Justice Minister Cliff Cullen revealed the new figures on Friday. The data shows that the average adult in-custody population fell from 2,400 to 2,105 between the 2017/18 and 2018/19 fiscal years. #RestorativeJustice
