	Fremantle Prison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fremantle Prison was constructed in the 1850s by Edmund Henderson, with designs by Henry Wray using convict labour and limestone quarried on-site.
		In 1907 after the Gold rushes in Western Australia and the rapid population growth in the area, the prison was expanded with the construction of New Division to the north, built by contractors with stone from quarries at Rottnest Island.

		A decision to transfer a detainee from an IDC to a State prison and a decision, made at a monthly review of the place of detention, to maintain a person's detention in the State prison are policy decisions which involve the exercise of discretion by the Department and its officers.
		An untried prisoner shall be allowed to procure at his own expense or at the expense of a third party such books, newspapers, writing materials and other means of occupation as are compatible with the interests of the administration of justice and the security and good order of the institution.
		For the purposes of his defence, an untried prisoner shall be allowed to apply for free legal aid where such aid is available, and to receive visits from his legal adviser with a view to his defence and to prepare and hand to him confidential instructions.

		Mr McGinty said prison visitors were required to produce various forms of identification to satisfy prison staff of their identity.
		The Minister today held a demonstration at Hakea Prison of one of the facial recognition systems currently being examined by the department, which has the potential to totally eliminate attempts to enter the prison system using false identification.
		Mr McGinty said work was still required to tailor a system best suited to WA prisons, but legislation being introduced to State Parliament today would pave the way for biometric technologies to be used in the prison system, by allowing for palmprints, eyeprints and other id to be taken from visitors.

		WA Prison Officers Union president Phil Gilbert said it was more than just a small bunch of unhappy officers and had warned the Department of Justice about the problem for more than two years but to no avail.
		The department's prisons executive director Terry Simpson however blamed the demoralised guards on a small group of staff who were unwilling to contribute to, or accept the prison's changes.
		Sharing similar views, Professor Harding said WA had the highest rate of prison deaths in the country where five of the Hakea deaths were suicides and five of the prisoners who died were Aboriginals.

		If prison officers are unable to detect a prisoner changing clothes and donning a wig during a visit, then surely there is little chance they can ensure they press the right buttons or check that the face in front of them matches the face on their monitors.
		Prison officers, legal visitors and many other people are gaining access into prisons without having to submit themselves to fingerprint scanning, inevitably reducing the supposed security the BIS provides.
		Visitors to prisons, who are not charged with anything and who are not criminals, should not be denied access to their friends and families by their refusal to submit to this sort of scanning process.

		AN untested prisoner security assessment system was fast-tracked into all prisons in Western Australia despite concerns from key Justice Department staff, an inquiry into the state prison system heard today.
		This included the escapes of Cross and double murderer Brian William Edwards from the minimum-security Karnet Prison Farm, and the hostage-taking and repeated rape of a female prison officer at Bunbury regional prison by serial sex offender Paul Keating.
		A series of Justice Department documents produced by Mr Quinlan at the hearing showed pilots of the new prisoner assessment system, a new assessment centre based at Hakea Prison, and a new case-management process were incomplete and not properly evaluated when Mr McGinty rolled-out the changes.

	Oates enjoys the whiff of freedom - Business - www.smh.com.au
		However, Oates says his time behind bars in Hakea was a pleasant change from the cramped Polish cell he shared for seven months in the winter of 1996 with a local man accused of illegally selling coal.
		However, what appears to irritate him most about the combined two years he has spent in prison in Poland and Perth awaiting trial is that he was repeatedly considered too much of a flight risk to be freed on bail.
		Oates says that being imprisoned in Hakea made it difficult for him to mount his defence - and had he not been incarcerated, the prosecution blunder which led to his trial being aborted on October 1 may have been avoided.

		This award applies to those nurses employed to work in the state's prisons, in the adult prisons and in the juvenile custodial centres as well.
		So if you go to Casuarina and Hakea prison, for example, they would actually have a medical centre in there, whereas one of the regional prisons might not actually have a medical centre as such.
		So what the implication is that nurses employed in the prison system, whether it be by the Department of Justice or the Attorney-General will - the effect of this will bring them into line with nurses employed by the Department of Health.
