I thank Hon Peter Foss for some notice of the question. (1) The manager, parole release, gave effect to the transfer following approval of the prerelease program at ministerial and executive council level. This is the same as the process for those requiring the Governor’s approval for transfer. Once the required approval has been obtained, the manager, parole release, gives effect to the transfer. (2) A prerelease program as such does not require ministerial and executive council approval per se. It is the main components of the program that require ministerial and executive council approval, in accordance with the various sections of the Prisons Act 1981. All 14 prisoners required such approval for the components of their prerelease programs. (3) All 14 prisoners had commenced the first stage of their prerelease programs. (4) Twelve prisoners had commenced stage 2 of their prerelease programs. With specific reference to the tabled information provided in response to parliamentary question without notice 70, prisoners 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 had commenced stage 2 of their prerelease programs. (5) One prisoner is waiting on a Parole Board decision regarding release. With specific reference to the tabled information provided in response to parliamentary question without notice 70, prisoner 3 is waiting on a Parole Board decision regarding release. One prisoner is waiting on a ministerial decision regarding release. With specific reference to the tabled information provided in response to parliamentary question without notice 70, prisoner 4 is waiting on a ministerial decision regarding release.
