          <by role="member" id="4364">The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:01):</by>  I have a supplementary question. Pending investigation, would the normal process be the potential loss of any privileges and rights relating to being able to send further mail? Is the prisoner likely to lose any privileges in that regard?</text>

          <by role="member" id="5084">The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:02):</by>  It is always an option available to Corrections that, if the good order of the facility has been compromised, it is within the purview of Corrections staff to change the prisoner's routine or indeed separate the prisoner. One of the most severe penalties that can be applied to a prisoner is to have them separated—that is, to put them in a completely different unit with a different regime altogether. That, of course, is an option that is available to Corrections staff or the department where a prisoner has clearly done the wrong thing.</text>
