Corrective Services

2383. Hon Alison Xamon to the minister representing the Minister for Emergency Services; Corrective Services:

I refer to children and young people currently in Banksia Hill Detention Centre (Banksia Hill), and I ask:

(a)  what is the current muster;

(b)  how many children and young people are sentenced;

(c)  how many of the children and young people from (b) are in custody as the result of sentencing under mandatory custodial sentencing provisions;

986. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Corrective Services:

I refer to page 371 of the 2019–20 Budget Statements and the average out-of-cell hours under “Outcomes and Key Effectiveness Indicators”.

(1)  Why is this figure provided only for adults?

(2)  Has any consideration been given to including the average out-of-cell hours for young people as an effectiveness indicator?

(3)  If no to (2), why not?
