Rehabilitation and release planning

Detainees have a comprehensive sentence plan and can access interventions to address their offending behaviour. Detainees are supported to maintain and develop relationships with their children, family and friends. Detainees are thoroughly prepared for release. Detainees’ risk of serious harm to the public is managed effectively.

Addressing offending behaviour

Detainees access well-coordinated rehabilitation services. Each detainee has a comprehensive sentence plan designed to address their specific needs and reduce their likelihood of reoffending. Detainees access interventions designed to address their offending behaviour, including support to address experiences of trauma where relevant.

Children and families and contact with the outside world

The establishment supports detainees’ contact with their children, families and friends. Detainees not receiving visits are helped in other ways to establish or maintain support from family and friends.

Preparation for release or transfer

Planning for a detainee’s release starts on their arrival at the establishment and they are helped to manage their resettlement needs. Detainees continuing in service, discharged detainees and those transferring to prison all receive effective, individual pre-release support which is reviewed regularly.

Protecting the public from harm

Detainees presenting a risk of serious harm to others are appropriately managed during their detention and in preparation for their release.
