Karnet Prison to donate special trike to person with cerebral palsy (23/12/97).
Mr Foss said that Karnet was presently making the trikes on a part-time basis, but hoped to develop the program further with the assistance of a full-time skilled officer to oversee the project.
The use of prison labour meant that the trikes could be manufactured for considerably less than in the general community - with the flexibility of individual design.

 Issues in HIV/AIDS in the Australian prison system - policy trends in prisons [Publications]
Prisons are violent and unpredictable places, where high-risk activities endanger prisoners and all staff within the prison and, by extension, the families of both.
Despite the fears of inmates and prison officers, medical opinion appears to be that segregation is not medically indicated, may well lead to a false sense of security, and is in conflict with educational strategies emphasising that HIV infection cannot be spread by casual contact.
While prison authorities have attempted to provide information, education and training to prisoners and prison officers it is unfortunate that the more difficult issues surrounding harm minimisation and drug use and sex in prisons have not been tackled.
