English: Plaid Cymru ultimately believes, with many of these points on this motion, that they won't have a realistic chance of being brought forward until we have proper criminal justice devolution and we can develop a distinct Welsh criminal jurisdiction. I would argue that this is becoming more and more imperative, in part because, as we pass more and more distinct Welsh legislation - particularly over issues that directly affect criminal rehabilitation, such as health, social services and housing - it is becoming more necessary as a natural step to take. We have those powers already, as has been mentioned earlier. Why, therefore, do we not have legislation to administer criminal justice? But my concern is that the Welsh Government doesn't seem to have the fire in its belly to really press this issue, nor are they adequately attempting to boost the legal sector in Wales so that they can cope with any changes in the devolution of criminal justice. Devolution also becomes more difficult if we accept a larger and larger prison estate in Wales, which is being designed for England's surplus prison population. If the proposed prison in Port Talbot goes ahead, there will be around a 2,300 surplus of prison places in Wales, compared with the total number of prisoners from Wales across the whole of the UK. It's clear that any new prison in Wales is not being developed to meet the needs of Wales, because we already have that capacity. The more prisoners from England serving their sentences in Wales and vice versa will make it very difficult to do the things the Welsh Government says that it supports. Just yesterday, Carwyn Jones voiced his support for the concept of looking at a separate Welsh penal policy, yet he shrugged his shoulders to a huge new prison in his neighbouring constituency. We need a clear position from the Welsh Government, which isn't contradictory, to form part of this debate we are having here as a Parliament, and more broadly, as a country. In terms of rehabilitation, we must start moving away, too, from the idea that we can ship prisoners across country and expect an effective rehabilitation at the end of a sentence. The review into prisons by Lord Michael Farmer last year calls family relationships 'the golden thread' to help reduce reoffending, and research shows prisoners who receive visits from a family member are 39 per cent less likely to reoffend.
Welsh: Gyda llawer o'r pwyntiau ar y cynnig hwn, cred Plaid Cymru yn y pen draw na fydd unrhyw obaith realistig o'u cyflwyno hyd nes y gwelir datganoli cyfiawnder troseddol priodol ac y gallwn ddatblygu awdurdodaeth droseddol neilltuol Gymreig. Buaswn yn dadlau bod hyn yn dod yn gynyddol hanfodol, yn rhannol oherwydd, wrth i ni basio mwy a mwy o ddeddfau neilltuol Gymreig - yn enwedig ar faterion sy'n effeithio'n uniongyrchol ar adsefydlu troseddol, megis iechyd, gwasanaethau cymdeithasol a thai - daw'n fwy angenrheidiol fel cam naturiol i'w gymryd. Mae gennym y pwerau hynny eisoes, fel a grybwyllwyd yn gynharach. Pam, felly, nad oes gennym ddeddfwriaeth i weinyddu cyfiawnder troseddol? Ond fy mhryder i yw nad yw'n ymddangos bod gan Lywodraeth Cymru y tân yn ei bol i frwydro dros y mater hwn mewn gwirionedd, ac nid ydynt yn gwneud ymdrech ddigonol i hyrwyddo'r sector cyfreithiol yng Nghymru chwaith, er mwyn iddynt allu ymdopi ag unrhyw newidiadau wrth ddatganoli cyfiawnder troseddol. Mae datganoli hefyd yn dod yn fwy anodd os derbyniwn sefydliadau carchar mwy a mwy o faint yng Nghymru, sy'n cael eu cynllunio ar gyfer gormodedd o garcharorion yn Lloegr. Os caiff y carchar arfaethedig ym Mhort Talbot ei adeiladu, bydd oddeutu 2,300 yn ormod o leoedd carchar yng Nghymru, o'i gymharu â chyfanswm nifer y carcharorion o Gymru ar draws y DU gyfan. Mae'n amlwg nad yw unrhyw garchar newydd yng Nghymru yn cael ei ddatblygu i ddiwallu anghenion Cymru, oherwydd mae gennym y capasiti hwnnw eisoes. Po fwyaf o garcharorion o Loegr sy'n cael eu dedfrydu i garchardai yng Nghymru ac i'r gwrthwyneb, y mwyaf anodd fydd hi i wneud y pethau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn dweud ei bod yn eu cefnogi. Ddoe ddiwethaf, lleisiodd Carwyn Jones ei gefnogaeth i'r cysyniad o edrych ar bolisi cosbi ar wahân ar gyfer Cymru, ac eto mae'n codi ei ysgwyddau yn achos carchar newydd enfawr yn yr etholaeth sy'n ffinio â'i etholaeth ef. Mae angen safbwynt clir gan Lywodraeth Cymru, un nad yw'n gwrthddweud ei hun, i fod yn rhan o'r ddadl hon a gawn yma fel Senedd, ac yn fwy cyffredinol, fel gwlad. O ran adsefydlu, rhaid inni ddechrau symud oddi wrth y syniad y gallwn gludo carcharorion ar draws y wlad a disgwyl adsefydlu effeithiol ar ddiwedd dedfryd. Geilw'r arolwg carchardai gan yr Arglwydd Michael Farmer y llynedd berthnasoedd teuluol yn 'edau aur' i helpu i leihau aildroseddu, ac mae ymchwil yn dangos bod carcharorion sy'n cael ymweliadau gan aelod o'r teulu 39 y cant yn llai tebygol o aildroseddu.
