Alexander Maconochie Centre—reintegration centre
(Question No 2302)
Mrs Jones asked the Minister for Corrections and Justice Health, upon notice, on 22 February 2019:
(1) Which cohorts of inmates at the Alexander Maconochie Centre will be eligible to be housed in the proposed reintegration centre.
(2) What other requirements will inmates have to meet in order to be eligible to be housed in the reintegration centre.
(3) What is the rationale for the reintegration centre being available to only male detainees, rather than both males and females.
Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1. The new reintegration centre will be a minimum security centre and will cater for detainees who are classified as minimum or low risk.
2. The eligibility guidelines for the reintegration centre have not been developed. The current eligibility criteria for the Transitional Release Centre considers many factors including:
• Time remaining on sentence;
• Security rating and risk;
• Discipline record;
• Completion of programs; and
• Impact on victims
3. The mid 2018/19 budget allocated ACTCS design and planning funding to commence work towards the reintegration centre. This design work will finalise the ACTCS operating model which includes how the cohorts mix along with security elements and classification. While current planning for the reintegration centre relates to the male cohort, options are also being considered with regard to female detainees. A key issue would be ensuring the safety of female detainees.
Alexander Maconochie Centre—interstate transfers
(Question No 2308)
Mrs Jones asked the Minister for Corrections and Justice Health, upon notice, on 22 February 2019:
In relation to question on notice No 1838 part (2), is the $586.36 cost the daily cost for each of the two detainees transferred to the custody of New South Wales, or the total daily cost for both the detainees.
Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
The cost for the detainee transferred to NSW in 2018 is $586.36 exc GST per day. The cost for the detainee transferred to NSW in 2014 was $316.26 exc GST per day. The cost varies depending on an individual’s security classification and associated risks.
