Prisoner Numbers

1129 Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (11 September 2019). Why does Pre-release Centre need 44 fewer beds?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): 20 beds will be temporarily closed at the Adelaide Pre-release Centre. This is a result of the reduction in demand for low security beds due to the increase in use of alternative to custody measures including court ordered home detention.
