  • Practice Title of the Paper Privatisation As an Instrument of Social Welfare Pr
    4th International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP4) June 26-28, 2019 – Montréal Panel T05P12 Session 2 Social Welfare Provision: Practice Title of the paper Privatisation as an instrument of social welfare provision: The case of prisons privatisation in Australia Authors Deirdre O’Neill Valarie Sands Graeme Hodge Monash University, Australia [email protected] Date of presentation June 27, 2019 1 4th International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP4) June 26-28, 2019 – Montréal Privatisation as an instrument of social welfare provision: the case of prisons privatisation in Victoria, Australia Associate Professor Deirdre O’Neill [email protected] Dr Valarie Sands [email protected] Professor Graeme Hodge [email protected] Abstract Since the 1970s, many international jurisdictions have embraced private sector solutions to problems of social welfare provision. Prisons, once regarded as a core responsibility of the public sector, have not been quarantined from this process. In Australia, the state’s monopoly of correctional services ended in 1990 with the opening of the first privately operated prison in the northern state of Queensland. Now, nearly three decades later, Australia has the highest proportion of prisoners in privately managed prisons in the world. This paper analyses the experience of one Australian state, Victoria, which has made the most extensive use of a range of privatisation mechanisms to finance, build and manage that state’s prison system. Taking an historical perspective and drawing upon publicly available documents, the paper traces the evolution of prison management in Victoria from a traditional bureaucratic model in which the state had complete responsibility to one in which the private sector now has a major role.

    Review of the management and operation of Victoria's corrections system Review of the management and operation of Victoria's corrections system The Victorian Government has vested the State Services Authority with functions designed to foster the development of an efficient, integrated and responsive public sector which is highly ethical, accountable and professional in the ways it delivers services to the Victorian community. The key functions of the Authority are to: • identify opportunities to improve the delivery and integration of government services and report on service delivery outcomes and standards; • promote high standards of integrity and conduct in the public sector; • strengthen the professionalism and adaptability of the public sector; and • promote high standards of governance, accountability and performance for public entities. The Authority seeks to achieve its charter by working closely and collaboratively with public sector departments and agencies. contact us at the State Services Authority Email: [email protected] Phone: (03) 9651 1321 Fax: (03) 9651 0747 Postal Address: 3 Treasury Place Melbourne 3002 www.ssa.vic.gov.au © Copyright State Government of Victoria State Services Authority 2012 contents executive summary 1 acronyms 5 1 introduction 7 1.1 terms of reference 7 1.2 review methodology and scope 7 1.3 relationship with other reviews 8 2 background 9 2.1 Department of Justice 9 2.2 Corrections Victoria 9 2.3 community corrections 10 2.4 prisons in Victoria 11 2.5 prisoner placement and categories of prisoners

  • PAEC – Inquiry Into the Victorian Government's Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
    PAEC – Inquiry into the Victorian Government's Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic HEARING, 26 August 2020 Questions on Notice taken by Dr Emma Cassar, Commissioner, Corrections Victoria (1) Verified transcript, page 22: Ms VALLENCE: Thank you so much, Mr Radford. I would like to pass my questions now to Dr Cassar, Corrections Commissioner. Commissioner, in total how many days of lockdown have been served in Victorian prisons during the COVID-19 pandemic? Dr CASSAR: Thanks, Ms Vallence. I do not have those figures in front of me, but I am happy to take that on notice. QoN Response: As lockdowns are applied selectively there is no relevant metric for the total number of days prisons have been subject to lockdown. For example, a particular unit at a prison may go into lockdown in response to a symptomatic prisoner being moved to quarantine or for contact tracing purposes. Lockdowns have assisted with the safe management of the risk of COVID-19 since March. It has been used on these occasions; The Melbourne Assessment Prison, Metropolitan Remand Centre and Port Phillip Prison commenced half day lockdowns across several units in late March 2020 to support physical distancing across the prisons. Loddon Prison was locked down for one day on 3 April 2020. Ravenhall, Hopkins Correctional Centre, Langi Kal Kal, Barwon Prison, Fulham and Loddon were in lockdown from 21 July 2020. All but Fulham and Ravenhall returned to normal operations on 23 July 2020. Fulham returned to normal operations on 24 July; Ravenhall returned to normal operations on 25 July 2020.
