Not good at keeping secrets are they:^O
Good idea or bad idea?
THE State Government is embarking on a secret plan to privatise all Queensland prisons, starting with Lotus Glen in Far North Queensland.
Senior Government sources have confirmed that Department of Community Safety Director-General Kelvin Anderson has established a special task force to examine the feasibility of the plan.
Lotus Glen at Mareeba has been touted as the most likely candidate for stage one of the Government's out-sourcing plan because of its modern infrastructure, but more facilities would follow.
The proposal is aimed at saving money, with privately managed prisons reportedly proving 10 per cent cheaper to operate on average than public prisons, mainly because of staffing ratios - meaning fewer staff per prisoner.
