Prisons, Illicit Drugs and Contraband Detection

In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (21 July 2014). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I have been advised:

In 2012-13, 270 visitors were searched, and items of contraband were detected on 23 visitors.

In 2013-14, 273 visitors were searched, and items of contraband were detected on 15 visitors. Forty five of the 273 visitors were refused entry due to testing positive on the IONSCAN. Whilst prohibited items may not have been found on these visitors, those who tested positive were refused entry on that day.
