Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Prisons, Beds PRISONS, BEDS The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE Legislative Council PRISONS, BEDS The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:30): As a supplementary question, the minister said that there were 29 spare beds in the Adelaide Women's Prison. Will the minister assure the council that no male prisoners will be located in any section of the women's prison as a result of the tight situation with bed numbers? The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO Legislative Council Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Gambling, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs PRISONS, BEDS The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Gambling, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:31): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary question. I know that the PSA and the department are in negotiation as we speak in relation to extra bed capacity. If we do need to use any units at the women's prison, clearly, they will have to be quite firmly separated. I understand that some units there used to house male prisoners, but I am certainly not in a position to say that that will happen at this time. It will depend on other bed availability, and it will depend on negotiations between the PSA and the government.
