Prisoner held hostage by another inmate at AMC

Yeah, what a great idea, make it a run for profit organisation instead if a government lead one.

Privatization will not only save money but improve outcomes for prisoners and the community in its entirety. Though full privatization is unlikely, the ACT government should look at recruiting from the private sector in order to combat the poisonous culture that exists in public prisons in Australia.

Inca Serrated – Education and rehabilitation programs are already privatised at the Canberra jail and the outcomes haven’t improved, particularly for the law abiding victims of the offenders.

I was speaking to the privatisation of the prison has a whole, not the selected outsourcing of those things ACT corrective services consider beneath them. my understanding is that the education at AMC is suffering because of the restrictions imposed by ACT corrective services and the contract management of the education tender. MTC or Serco would be best placed to overhaul this system.

Inca -Your understanding is not correct and recruitment has come from the private sector since the AMC opened. Have a look at Detention Centres and tell me Serco is the answer.
