The Issue
Rangeview Juvenile Remand Centre will be redesigned as a facility for young adult males.
- What should be the new facility’s philosophy and regime? What can be done for young women?
- Will the facility meet the needs of young Aboriginal men? Who will be eligible? And who will control entry, transfer and release?
- Banksia Hill Detention Centre will become a multi-function facility for all juveniles, male, female, sentenced and remand. What are the consequences? And is enough being done to reduce the number of juveniles in custody (especially on remand)?
