House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Answers to Questions Prisoner Numbers Prisoner Numbers Mr ODENWALDER House of Assembly Elizabeth Prisoner Numbers 27 Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (20 February 2020). What were the average staff to prisoner ratios at each DCS prison, and each privately operated prison, for each month from January 2018 to January 2020 inclusive? The Hon. C.L. WINGARD House of Assembly Gibson Minister for Police Minister for Recreation Prisoner Numbers The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I am advised: The Department for Correctional Services (DCS) does not present data on staff to prisoner ratios as the data would not be comparable. The data is not comparable as: Role and function of prisons differ; Built environments differ; Programs and services differ at each prison; and DCS does not disclose staffing arrangements for the good order and security of the prison system.
