  • 2015 Final the Evolution of Australian Prison Architecture
    Finally Fit for Purpose: The Evolution of Australian Prison Architecture Elizabeth Grant and Yvonne Jewkes Introduction Prisons tend to reflect the society that oversees them (Johnston, 2000). The architecture and design of correctional facilities, as well as their regimes philosophies, priorities and problems, are intrinsically related to their location. At their most extreme, in a ‘Supermax’ (examples being the Florence Administrative Maximum Penitentiary in Colorado, USA, or the High Risk Management Unit at Goulburn Correctional Centre in New South Wales, Australia), prisoners may be held in hermetically sealed environments which inflict, sometimes simultaneously, sensory deprivation and sensory overload, resulting in psychic and physical pain on a par with techniques of torture. At the other end of the penal spectrum (for example, in prisons typically associated with Northern Europe and the countries of Scandinavia), prisons seek to ‘normalize’ the prison environment with open-plan interiors, an absence of hard fixtures and furnishings, maximum exploitation of natural light and access to outside space. But what happens when one penal jurisdiction imitates the structural designs of another with little regard for their political, social and cultural differences and with no attempt to embrace the broader institutional philosophy or staff training needs that underpin particular forms of penal design? This article traces the parallel histories of the penal estates1 of the USA and Australia and illustrates that, from their earliest days, the structure and internal layout of prisons became harmonized with the enforcement of particular regimes, but that penal philosophies do not necessarily travel with the architecture and design of prisons when transposed from one context to another.

Amassive manhunt resulted in the Kenniffs being captured near Mitchell, and their subsequent trial for wilful murder in the Queensland Supreme Court.

Since its opening in 1883 “Boggo” has created controversy. Home of lifers and killers, both men and women have called the prison “home”. Between 1883 and 1913, Boggo Road acted as a place of execution. Forty-two individuals were hanged from the Gaol gallows. Most of the Gaol’s secrets are yet to be revealed. From December 2012, Boggo Road will reopen to the public after being closed for 7 years. The Newman State Government, after a long review process, has decided to award management rights to Jack Sim, director of Boggo Road Gaol Pty Ltd. Jack Sim is well known to the people of Brisbane as the man behind Ghost Tours Pty Ltd. Operating tours of many historic sites such as Toowong Cemetery, South Brisbane Cemetery, and previously Boggo Road Gaol, Mr Sim and the staff of Ghost Tours have earned a great reputation for quality experiences for locals, interstate and overseas visitors. Jack Sim first started tours at Boggo Road Gaol in 1998, and has spent 15 years lobbying to be given the opportunity to de- velop the tourism potential of this historic site.

  • Private Prisons, Public Fears’ Centre for the Government of Queensland Summer Scholar Journal , 2, 2011-12
    Molly Mahlouzarides, ‘Private Prisons, Public Fears’ Centre for the Government of Queensland Summer Scholar Journal , 2, 2011-12 Academic Richard Harding once wrote that, ‘prison privatisation [was] the most significant development in penal policy in the second half of the 20th century’.1 The purported significance of prison privatisation was certainly felt in Queensland, where the decision to privatise formed the basis of vital reforms to the State’s archaic corrective services. The interview material on the Queensland Speaks 2 website offers a unique glimpse into the thoughts of the key players behind this privatisation agenda, with politicians and public servants intimately commenting on the controversial development. Drawing from their words, this essay will examine whether the fears that surrounded the introduction of private prisons to Queensland’s penal system have been realised, by looking back over the two decades since the opening of the State’s first private correctional facility. Introduction Stemming from a history of ‘state socialism’ and government dominance over the provision of services, Queenslanders have long been ill at ease with the notion of delegating such services to private bodies. This process of privatisation, regardless of the political party that has initiated it, has often been met with public resistance, from the denigration of the Bjelke-Petersen Government for ‘selling off’ Queensland to the more recent campaigns against the Bligh Government’s sale of public assets, including QR National. 3 However, when it comes to discussing the trend of privatisation, no issue has been as ideologically divisive as the privatisation of corrective services. With the recent opening of the Southern Queensland Correctional Centre, operating within the private sector, the controversial debate surrounding prison privatisation has again been reignited.

Petition received. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Allegations of Mistreatment of Chicken-farmers by Queensland Government Hon. N. J. HARPER (Aubum—Minister for Primary Industries) (10.02 a.m.), by leave: In the Federal Parliament on 12 October 1988, the member for Bowman, Mr Sciacca, made claims that two Queensland chicken-farmers have been unfairly treated by the Queensland Government. It is unfortunate that Mr Sciacca used only a one-sided version of this case to engage in a cheap political exercise and demonstrated a total lack of understanding of the industry committee which he had slated. The problem arose foUowing disputes between the chicken-farmers, Messrs MacDonald and Williams, and Inghams Enterprises, more than four years ago. The Chicken Meat Industry Committee investigated the disputes and agreed that Inghams Enterprises was acting in accordance with the provisions of the growing agreement when it terminated its suppliers' agreements. Messrs MacDonald and Williams have raised their dispute with me and my predecessor as well as with the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administrative Investigations. The Parliamentary Commissioner for Administrative Investigations has stated that in his opinion the committee acted correctly when it held that Mr MacDonald's agreement had been properly terminated.
