Each of these questions is prefaced by the premise that it relates to the period prior to prisoner Crimp’s escape from Karnet. (1) What were the criteria for assessment of prisoners for transfer from one security classification to another? (2) Had the Ministry of Justice carried out a review of the factors that affect the risk that a prisoner may escape? (3) Had the Ministry of Justice identified any or all of those prisoners who posed a greater degree of risk to the community if they did not comply with their parole conditions? (4) If so, how was that identification recorded? (5) Was the prisoner Crimp on the Ministry of Justice high profile prisoner list? (6) Was the prisoner Crimp on the Ministry of Justice’s high risk prisoner list? Hon N.D. GRIFFITHS
AnswerView source ↗
Hon Peter Foss has given notice of three questions; one of them has four parts, another has a part, and a third has a part, so the member has combined three questions into one. I will answer one and he can ask the other two down the track. Hon Peter Foss interjected. Hon N.D. GRIFFITHS: I will answer what I wish. I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The criteria for transfer of prisoners that applied are contained in director’s rule 2B, part 3.2, which relates to a number of factors, primarily the nature of offence, the length of sentence and prison management reports. (2) Yes, a new assessment and classification project was commissioned in January 1999 and the security classification tool was piloted in Bandyup Prison from September 2000 and Hakea Prison from November 2000. This instrument is still in the pilot phase but will become operational statewide from 9 July 2001 and be applied to all new intakes and subsequent security reviews from that date. (3) For offenders in custody, there is currently no such identification. However, the new assessment and classification instrument, which commences statewide from 9 July 2001, will place all newly received prisoners in a custodial setting appropriate to their assessed risk. All offenders on parole in the community are assessed. Those parolees evaluated as having 80 per cent or more probability of reoffending are considered for inclusion in a special risk category. (4) If a parolee is classified as a special risk case, that is identified on the offender’s file and is shown in the database used by community corrections officers any time the officer opens the database to enter data for decision-making or management purposes. Mr President, because I will not be listening to Hon Peter Foss for another four-odd weeks, I will do my best to accommodate his earnest desires. However, I may not match the numbers of the answers to the questions. (5) The next question was: prior to his escape from Karnet, was the prisoner Crimp on the Ministry of Justice’s high-profile prisoner list? The answer is no. The Ministry of Justice has a list of high-profile cases which encompasses both persons in prisons and clients of community-based services. Mr Crimp was not on that list. (6) The number of the next answer may not correspond to the question, which was: prior to his escape from Karnet, was the prisoner Crimp on the Ministry of Justice’s high-risk prisoner list? The answer is no. The Ministry of Justice has a list of high-profile cases, which encompasses both persons in prisons and clients of community-based services. Mr Crimp was not on that list. The Ministry of Justice also has a high security escort list. Mr Crimp was not on that list at the time of his escape.

(2) Yes, a new assessment and classification project was commissioned in January 1999 and the security classification tool was piloted in Bandyup Prison from September 2000 and Hakea Prison from November 2000. This instrument is still in the pilot phase but will become operational statewide from 9 July 2001 and be applied to all new intakes and subsequent security reviews from that date. (3) For offenders in custody, there is currently no such identification. However, the new assessment and classification instrument, which commences statewide from 9 July 2001, will place all newly received prisoners in a custodial setting appropriate to their assessed risk. All offenders on parole in the community are assessed. Those parolees evaluated as having 80 per cent or more probability of reoffending are considered for inclusion in a special risk category. (4) If a parolee is classified as a special risk case, that is identified on the offender’s file and is shown in the database used by community corrections officers any time the officer opens the database to enter data for decision-making or management purposes.
