The Department of Justice advises as follows: (1) 2000 - 2001 = 79 2001 - 2002 = 49 2002 - 2003 = 55 2003 - 2004 = 63 2004 - 2005 = 47 (to 17 May 2005) (2) For security reasons this information cannot be provided. (3) Refer to tabled paper 1 (4) 2000 - 2001 = 79 2001 - 2002 = 49 2002 - 2003 = 55 2003 - 2004 = 62 2004 - 2005 = 46 (to 17 May 2005) (5) 2 remain at large (6) Data of this nature is not readily available. The provision of this information would require considerable research which would divert staff away from their normal duties and I am not prepared to allocate the State's resources to provide an answer. (7) Prison Security is always an ongoing issue that requires monitoring and attention. A Security Review [see tabled paper no] has just been completed and a number of strategies are underway. Improvements have been made to the prisoner assessment and classification process. Fences will be erected around Karnet Prison Farm and Wooroloo Prison Farm and electronic monitoring Personal Identification Devices are currently being piloted at Wooroloo Prison Farm. An Anti-Bullying Strategy has been introduced into all prisons including minimum security facilities and a zero tolerance policy has had a significant impact on reducing escapes. In addition, improved data collection and intelligence reporting has been introduced.
