Adelaide Remand Centre
1112 Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (11 September 2019). What impact will the cost of additional/extra prisoners have on the $5 million you told the parliament would be saved by the outsourcing of the management of the remand centre?
The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): It is estimated that the outsourcing of the management and operations of the Adelaide Remand Centre (ARC) will achieve savings of $8 million per annum.
The cost per prisoner at the ARC is less than accommodating prisoners at other high security prisons within the state. We have the ability through the contract with Serco to use the additional beds if required. If the government does increase the capacity of the ARC, the cost of these beds will be lower than any other high security beds in the state.
