Alexander Maconochie Centre—weapons
(Question No 534)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Corrections, upon notice, on 12 November 2021:
(1) How many shivs have been seized at the Alexander Maconochie Centre in the last four years.
(2) Does ACT Corrective Services keep a log of seized shivs with details such as location seized and what they were made of; if so, can the Minister provide a list of these shivs accompanied by details of location seized and what the shives were made of.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
For the period November 2017 to 15 November 2021, ACT Corrective Services (ACTCS) located and seized 134 makeshift cutting weapons. ACTCS keeps a log of contraband seized to identify trends in contraband seizures over time, not to specify descriptors of items seized. The information held by ACTCS would not provide the level of detail requested. These details would also be operationally sensitive.
