Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Correctional Services Correctional Services The Hon. C. BONAROS Legislative Council Correctional Services The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:44): Supplementary: despite the significant investment in prisons that the Attorney-General refers to, does he acknowledge that over 70 per cent of perpetrators of domestic violence have already served time in incarceration? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Correctional Services The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:44): I am happy to check on those figures and bring back a reply for the honourable member. I might also add, in relation to programs that are offered in South Australian prisons, it was sometime last year that I remember seeing a statistic that talked about South Australia having the lowest recidivism rate in the country—that is, people who have been in prison returning to our prisons—which I suspect speaks to the efficacy of some of the programs that are running.
