ABC online is reporting that Canberra’s new prison will have its full contingent of staff by the time the facility starts accepting inmates later this year, according to ACT Attorney-General Simon Corbell
The latest batch of correctional officers to work at the centre graduated at a ceremony at Old Parliament House yesterday.
The officers have been recruited from the ACT, New South Wales and Victoria, and include 30 men and nine women.
It does appear that the facility is thus far running smoothly in its construction and planning.

was this the prison that was built by its future inmates?
Let the beatings commence!!!
Seriously though, that place will be more deserted than the convention centre when Weird Al Yankovic last played there. When was the last time an ACT magistrate sentenced anyone to the big house?! Even if you murder someone you’re a fair chance of the magistrate laughing it off and giving you a slap on the wrist.
“It does appear that the facility is thus far running smoothly in its construction and planning.”
Hmmmmm…..I am reminded of the Hospital without patients episode in ‘Yes Minister’.
I’m anxious to see what happens when real live flesh and blood crooks come up against a system built on Simon Corbell’s ‘Human Rights’ mantra.
Smart money is on the crims.
The Maconchie centre will be the Sudanese Hilton within 2 years. You heard it here first!
Yes, because there is a HUGE CRIME WAVE ENTIRELY PERPETRATED BY SUDANESE here in Canberra! Haven’t you heard?????
(Warning, some Sudanese may appear to be unshaven whiteys with trendy mullets).

Racist.
Read your own posts, douchebag.
Also, white people smell. I have it on good authority.
Deadmandrinking said :
You are alienating yourself at a frightening rate of knots deadmandrinking. First you slander blacks, then whites. By my calculations only Asians and possibly American Indians are safe while you’re around.
As long as it doesn’t become the New Zealand Hilton, then I’m happy.
So, what was that about the Sudanese hilton, then?
I think he/she meant it was going to be a ruined, rundown shitehole within two years?
I never said I wasn’t racist.
Good, because you are.
I’m not…A closer inspection would tell that the comments were in jest…
I know mate, you took the bait. I’m sorry.
BTW I’m not a racist either. I ate Chinese for dinner on Tuesday night.
Give this man a nobel for his work on race relations!
But seriously, tell me, what did you mean by that, and the other comment you made about Sudanese ghettos or whatever in the story about Canberra’s growth.
I ate Chinese for dinner on Tuesday night.
I know a couple of Chinese people here in Canberra. They’re really nice people. I don’t know if I could eat a whole one though…
Keep bits in the freezer. You’ll be fed a whole week. Bit of a change from Clowns anyway.
(If I say roast clown’s a bit of a joke anyway, will you crucify me?)
Two cannibals are eating a clown, when one stops chewing and says to the other “Does this taste funny to you?”
Why? What did we do that made god so angry? What???!!!
Now you’ve all really jumped the shark. Eating CLOWNS?! Clowns aren’t food! Jeeeez.
Dude…get with the times. Clowns are in!
Yeahbut you don’t EAT them.
Man…get out of the sixties, hippie! I’ll eat you if you’re not careful!
Yeahbut, I’m not a clown. And I’m 80s. The 60s were apalling!
Hair metal…
You’re done, mate.
Clowns are evil.
hippies are fun to laugh at.
It’s a proven scientific fact.
Explain Hair metal….
