Ravenhall Correctional Centre
David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (17:31): (1965) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Corrections. I was recently contacted by a member of the public whose partner is incarcerated in the Ravenhall Correctional Centre. And before I proceed, let me acknowledge that Ravenhall is a private facility and this matter is not directly under government control. However, she mentioned that, due to short-staffing and perhaps structural issues to do with staff remuneration, prisoners are routinely locked down on weekends due to no fault of their own. This may mean that they do not get any visitors or do not receive daily medication on time. My request for action is for the minister to ask the operators of Ravenhall for an explanation and see if this issue can be resolved.
