Prisoner Transfers

In reply to the Hon. S.G. WADE (28 September 2016).

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I am advised:

The frequency of prisoner transfers undertaken between correctional facilities in recent years has generally increased. However, these figures are indicative of a general increase in the state's prisoner population in recent years.
