Emergency management days for prison lockdowns
Rachel called on the Minister for Corrections to consider emergency management days for all cases at Dame Phyllis Frost Centre.
Strengthen funding for recovery through theatre
Rachel asked the Minister for Corrections to ensure secure funding for theatre programs to engage vulnerable and marginalised community members. Programs including Somebody’s Daughter Theatre and Nobody’s Fool Theatre assist individuals to break cycles of abuse, addiction and disengagement. These programs are in desperate need of funding to continue producing positive outcomes for their participants.
Stop the lockdowns at Dame Phyllis Frost Centre
Rachel asked the Minister for Corrections to stop lockdowns at Dame Phyllis Frost Centre. Usually reserved for emergency situations, women in these prisons have been frequently kept in states of solitary confinement due to changes in administrative processes and rostering.
