PRISON — CRITICAL INCIDENT REVIEW — MINISTER FOR CORRECTIVE
SERVICES
1001. Mr Z.R.F. KIRKUP to the Minister for Corrective
Services:
I have a supplementary question.
Does the minister agree with the author of the report that the adaptive regime
that was put in place because of overtime constraints was one of the
predominant reasons why the riot occurred in the first place?

I repeat what I just said. Adaptive
regimes are used all the time through our prisons. There would be adaptive
regimes being used today. They are a security measure for running our prisons.
They keep the prison and the prisoners safe. The reality is that it was not
just the adaptive regimes. There was that cohort, and there was intelligence
that should have been acted upon. Those people, as I pointed out, are violent,
and they are still violent, and that intelligence should have been acted upon.
Mr V.A. Catania interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for North
West Central, I call you to order for the second time.
Mr F.M. LOGAN : Had it been
acted upon, those adaptive regimes would have worked normally, and there would
not have been a riot.
