PEARCE (King—Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:37):</by>  I thank the member for his question. As recently as this most recent state budget we announced further funding to help increase security at our prisons. That is something we are continuing to roll out and invest in to ensure we have the best supports possible in our prisons and correctional systems.</text>
