(3) 4. (4) Prisoner transport is provided by both AIMS contractors and prison officers. No private AIMS contractors injured in transit in the past four years. Data on the number of prison officers injured in transit is held in the Total Offender Management System but is not readily extractable. (5) 245. (6) 2. (7) 58 (8) 7 prisoners have been injured prior to or during the application of restraints during their transfer to court and return. (9) The information required to answer this question is held by The Department of the Attorney General and as such I am unable to provide a response to the question. (10) The Government has introduced legislation to reduce both the rate and cost of imprisonment in Western Australia. The legislation in regard to this has been centred on the following: · The removal of six-month sentences. · The introduction of non-custodial options for offenders facing incarceration under the Road Traffic Act 1974. · The introduction of pre-sentence orders giving offenders the opportunity to address their offending behaviour prior to sentencing. · The extension of powers to the Chief Executive Officer to grant parole to prisoners on sentences of less than 12 months. · The extension of powers to the Chief Executive Officer to grant prisoners early discharge from prison. · The attachment of conditions to orders of suspended imprisonment. Conditional suspended imprisonment orders are a discrete sentencing option and are regarded as a harsher penalty according to the hierarchy of sentencing as set out in the Sentencing Act 1995 . Examples of conditions that can be imposed include curfews, supervision and program requirements. · Development of the 'Reducing Aboriginal Imprisonment Strategy', which focuses on eight strategies as listed below, aimed at reducing the number of Aboriginal people entering the prison system. o Return Prisoners to home communities. This is a transport service based in Port Hedland and Kalgoorlie and aims at returning prisoners in regional areas to their community at time of release. o Aboriginal Liaison Officers. They are to be based in the Kimberley, Roebourne and the Gascoyne region to assist in the effective delivery of services to Aboriginal people in contact with the justice system o Sheriff/Community Development Officer. This is in collaboration with Courts, to be based in the Goldfields, Kimberley, Pilbara and Midwest regions to provide assistance to offenders and communities. o Bail Coordination. Bail co-ordinators located at Hakea and Bandyup to promote timely release on bail for Aboriginal offenders. o Judicial Case Management for Family and Domestic Violence. This initiative belongs to The Department of the Attorney General. The roll out of a family and domestic violence specialist court model across the metropolitan area. o Family and Domestic Violence Regional Model (Geraldton). This initiative belongs to The Department of the Attorney General. A pilot specialist family and domestic violence court model incorporating culturally relevant programs for delivery to Aboriginal perpetrators and victims of domestic and family violence. o Access to Early Release. The implementation of efficient assessment and referral processes to enable people to be released on their earliest release date, whenever possible. o Employment Options. The implementation of programs to assist prisoners from Broome Regional Prison in the development of art skills in order to tap into the tourist market. Programs for prisoners from Roebourne Regional Prison to learn restoration, construction and fencing skills to contribute to employment options. Short skills training at Casuarina Prison. (11) $288.8m. This figure is the total accrual cost of managing offenders in custody, which also comprises overheads and asset depreciation charges. (12) As at 30 June 2006, the ratio of custodial officers to prisoners was 0.52 custodial officers to 1 prisoner in both public and private prisons in Western Australia. This figure is the most recent reported by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) .
