The concept of throughcare as a means to prevent recidivism continues to attract considerable attention in Australia over the last couple of years. This is particularly the case for Indigenous peoples, as the transition to life after imprisonment proves to be particularly challenging for them, resulting in high rates of recidivism and ongoing overrepresentation in Australian prisons. In this contribution, we report on research we conducted in two Australian jurisdictions. After identifying the problems in developing effective throughcare strategies for Indigenous peoples leaving prison, we turn to Canada for examples of good practice. Canada was chosen for comparison as it is also a settler colonial state, experiencing similar problems of overrepresentation of their Indigenous population in the prison. After a critical analysis of these practices, we conclude that the reasons for a problematic re-integration of Indigenous peoples are related to a tendency to impose solutions and strategies developed in the white mainstream onto Indigenous communities without acknowledging traditional cultures and structures.

在过去的几年里，通过护理作为防止再犯的一种手段的概念在澳大利亚继续引起相当大的关注。对于原住民来说尤其如此，因为事实证明，他们在监禁后过渡到终身生活对他们来说尤其具有挑战性，这导致了澳大利亚监狱中的高再犯率和持续的人数过多。在这篇文章中，我们报告了我们在两个澳大利亚司法管辖区进行的研究。在确定了为离开监狱的原住民制定有效的全程护理策略方面存在的问题后，我们转向加拿大寻找良好做法的例子。选择加拿大进行比较是因为它也是一个定居者殖民国家，在监狱中遇到了类似的土著人口比例过高的问题。在对这些做法进行批判性分析后，
