Prison Capacity

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (15:26): The minister's last answer said that he has previously outlined the surge capacity for when we are over capacity. Given that the entire totality of the surge capacity he has ever outlined is 99 cells, in addition to the 2,500 we have approved, and the minister has admitted that we have had more prisoners than those combined numbers, where are they? Where have they been kept?

Mr Marshall: Answer a straight question.

The SPEAKER: The leader is warned for the second and final time. Minister.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:26): As I indicated, and I have indicated previously, we have a number of strategies to build within our existing footprint. Those strategies continue. Every prisoner who is supposed to be behind bars is behind bars and the community is kept safe.

An honourable member: Where?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: In an institution, where do you think they are kept? If the member would like a breakdown of which institution, I am happy to get those exact figures for him.
