3. A corrections officer may give a detainee a verbal or written warning. Disciplinary actions that fall outside of a warning must be recorded in writing. Written notice of the breach of discipline and any sanction imposed must then be given to the detainee.
4. Once a disciplinary action has been determined, the Area Manager verbally informs the detainee of the outcome and must provide the detainee with written notice of the decision.
Electronic versions of the written notice of the breach of discipline, associated reports or subsequent actions, are stored on ACTCS’ custodial information system. A case note containing a brief statement of the conduct and any sanction imposed is also entered on the custodial information system. Hard copies of all documents are then retained and stored in accordance with the Territory Records Act 2002.
5. Between 1 January 2018 and 31 January 2019, there were 240 instances where 152 detainees were held in the Management Unit. This number includes detainees who were placed in the Management Unit under investigative segregation, for the safety and security of the Alexander Maconochie Centre or a detainee, and for medical or disciplinary reasons. Of those 240 instances:
a) 121 were for less than one week and 72 for over one week, but less than two weeks; and
b) 47 were for two consecutive weeks or more.
ACTCS does not disaggregate data on the specific reasons detainees are placed in the Management Unit. The data is available, however it would be unreasonable to divert the resources of the Directorate to compile and quality assure.
