Prisons -- Overcrowding -- Queensland.

Following an investigation by this Office in 2013, I recommended that the DirectorGeneral of the department then responsible for Queensland Corrective Services (QCS) take certain action to relieve overcrowding at BWCC. The Director-General accepted my recommendations. In 2016, I find that overcrowding at BWCC has worsened to the extent that it is the most overcrowded correctional centre in Queensland. ... My recommendations in this report are aimed at ensuring that the level of overcrowding at BWCC is reduced, prisoners' living conditions are improved, and their access to services is increased. - Extract from forward.
