		The Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre, Australia's newest and biggest jail, is so automated, you half expect to discover the correctional officers are bionic men and women.
		The Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre, located at Silverwater close to Silverwater Correctional Centre and Mulawa Women's Correctional Centre on 15.7 hectares of land (40 acres) owned by the Department of Corrective Services, is Australia's newest, biggest and most modern prison whose cost is expected to reach more than $84 million.
		Replacing the Long Bay Remand Centre, Parramatta Correctional Centre and three others, it will house up to 900 unconvicted and appellant inmates, convicted inmates awaiting further court appearances and convicted inmates waiting to be classified and placed in other correctional centres.

	Management of Transgender Inmates
		Transgender inmates housed in a correctional centre of their biological gender may remain in a centre with a higher security classification, provided that they sign a written memorandum of understanding that it is their choice to remain in that centre, and they are willing to abide by the conditions of that correctional centre.
		Male to female transgender inmates assigned to a female correctional centre, and female to male transgender inmates assigned to a correctional centre of their biological gender (that is female) may be escorted with other female inmates, if case management indicates that there are no over riding safety or security concerns.
		Male to female transgender inmates assigned to a correctional centre of their biological gender (that is male) and female to male transgender inmates assigned to a male correctional centre are to be kept separate from all other inmates during escorts to avoid the risk of physical or sexual assault by other inmates in transit.

		The phone had to be used where the correctional centre was either too far away, eg Broken Hill, Glen Innes or the where the security is the strictest and casual visitors are not encouraged, eg Special Purpose Centre.
		There is one thing from my research that I can confidently say that every correctional centre in NSW has a library and some have more than one, eg Goulburn Correctional Centre currently has three (maximum security, minimum security and a special unit) and will have a fourth library when the new section opens.
		Of these 27 correctional centres only one, the Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre, has a library that could be called a library by our professional standards.

		According to the MRRC an "enhanced demand" for mobile phones and ease of which new models can be concealed — due to their size and lack of metallic pieces — "is driving this upward trend".

		The ICAC said that in the case of the MRRC -- which houses approximately 900 inmates, most of whom are awaiting sentence — phones could facilitate the intimidation of prosecution witnesses and allow "unconstrained communication" with outside allies.
