PEARCE (King—Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:36):</by>  I am very proud of the investments this government has been making into our correctional services. We have a proud record here in terms of having the best rate in terms of recidivism in the nation, and a lot of the investments we are making are to continue to ensure that prisoners and those who work in Corrections continue to remain safe, and that we continue to reduce those rates in our state to help keep our community safe.</text>
