Hume Hilton full to the brim

Its not meant to be a comfortable experience. Maybe if they removed the plasma TV’s, gyms, kitchettes, in-cell showers and computers there would be more room to put inmates??

My mother in law woudl love access to state funded plasma TV, gym, kitchettes, and computers etc, and free meals and educational opportunities. Unfortunately for her she’s worked all her life and is now a volunteer at Calvary.

She should think about mugging someone instead, the state seems to respect that more.

Didn’t the Libs want to fill it up with NSW prisoners?

The real problem is the draconian justice system in the ACT that seems to continually lock up people who should be in the community.

The tough sentences for minor crimes in this jurisdiction has to stop. *ducks*

Woah! Which crimes? We are notoriously one of the most lenient jurisdictions in Australia!!

Point taken – must double check

Hey Fluey,

Weekend detention is served in the seperate building (to the South). The one that looks like the office block, near the escape helicopter.

My understanding is that it’s served here:

Symonston Periodic Detention Centre
Mugga Lane
Red Hill ACT

Sorry, not Symonston (got confused because Symonston is in the name.. haha!)

I thought the office type building was the independent living type place that well behaved prisoners/prisoners being transitioned into release got to live.

Giving people short real sentences like 2 weeks jail, instead of 2 months weekend detention would probably fix it. I assume it’s only full on weekends.

I’m pretty sure people who serve periodic (weekend) detention go to a facility in Symonston not the AMC.

Poor Simon is “thinking about what to do”? Just bunk em up mate, they make the choice to do the crime so they can share the time. Next problem?

Well perhaps it is time to build a purpose build Lock-Up rehab centre.

so we build our jails like our roads – half the size needed????

Surely that doesn’t surprise you?

I’m starting to think that rather than being evidence of gross incompetence it is a deliberate strategy, done for political reasons.

Now that we’re near capacity, maybe they’ll finally put an end to these Stage 3 crime restrictions.

Nice.

from the article: “moving the Therapeutic Community, a number of prisoners in a drug and alcohol recovery program, to other accommodation”

And where might that be?

Rehab

Havent the people who build these prisons seen the movie “Fortress”.

Or “Marching Powder.”

All that space wasted on accommodating so few people.

Give me an excavator and a couple of hours and I will make some nice, permanent, accommodation for them.
