16290 (2026). Dr Tracey McLellan to the Minister of Corrections: What were the operating capacity, maximum capacity, and actual population, as at 28 February 2026, for each prison facility, broken down by remand convicted and remand accused prisoners?
Hon Mark Mitchell: I refer the member to the attached table which provides the operating capacity, maximum capacity, and actual population, as at 28 February 2026, for each prison facility. I am advised that Corrections does not record prison capacity by remand accused, remand convicted and sentenced status, as a prisoner’s status has no relation to the number of beds available at each site.
