An  insight  into  the  Darwin  Correc+onal  Precinct  • The Correctional Centre has been designed, structured and staffed to facilitate the development of Indigenous wellness, education and training that will assist in closing the gap of Indigenous disadvantage in the Northern Territory. • All sentenced prisoners are expected to participate in purposeful activity / work / education / programs as an essential component of both Prisoner development and effective Correctional Centre management. • A Structured Day of meaningful work, programs (including visits) and recreation is the foundation of the Prisoner’s Sentence Management Plan. • New multi-disciplined staff approach with training being the foundation of staff; new Staff Training and Development Centre. • Introduction of biometric technology that underpins the Centre’s security system. • Introduction of a Prisoner Interactive Learning System (PILS) • Expansion of Correctional Industries with strong emphasis on prisoner training and employment. • New mothers and babies facilities in the women’s sector. • No Smoking Policy imposed on prisoners and staff. • Improved education and treatment facilities programs like QuickSmart/QuickStart • Supportive cultural and spiritual practices with appropriate facilities being available to Elders and respected-persons.
