Proposed Inquiry into Regional Prisons
Public Administration Committee· 26 May 2011inquiry_report
This WA parliamentary committee report addresses a proposed inquiry into regional prisons. The Public Administration Committee decided against a new inquiry due to similar work by the Community Development and Justice Standing Committee (CDJSC) and the Inspector of Custodial Services. However, the report highlights concerns about the high incarceration rate of Aboriginal prisoners for driver's license offences and recommends government action.
Impact
Aboriginal prisoners, regional communities, the Department of Corrective Services, and the Department of Transport are affected. Successful implementation could reduce recidivism and improve prisoners' employability.
