I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) Funds
for rehabilitation programs are not allocated on a prison-by-prison basis. The
Department of Justice will spend an additional $28.6 million to increase
appropriate access to parole by providing tailored rehabilitation programs to
prisoners leading up to and following their release on parole. This will
include female prisoners at Bandyup Women's Prison and other prisons.
