32824 (2025). Dr Tracey McLellan to the Minister of Corrections: What modelling has he seen, if any, regarding an increased prison population and the impact to Corrections resources, during the month of June?

Hon Mark Mitchell: On 12 June 2025 I received B4940 – Briefing: Accelerated capacity planning in anticipation of faster than forecast prison population growth, which provides modelling regarding the increased prison population and impact to Corrections’ resources. I also receive regular updates from my officials on a range of matters, including via regular meetings and my weekly report.
