Innisfail's Work Camp Has Become A "Holiday Camp" For Inmates

by Aruna on Feb 27 2009 5:07 PM

Sources have claimed that prisoners at the Innisfail's work camp are reportedly enjoying pornography, mobile phone calls and unsupervised use of a vehicle to roam Australia's Cairns District.

Several insiders told The Cairns Post that prisoners had been going into town and other places without supervision.

Corrective Services officers and a dog squad searched the camp recently and are believed to have seized pornographic material and a mobile telephone.

Three prisoners were returned to Lotus Glen prison on the Tableland and one prisoner and his wife are facing charges relating to the search.

A prisoner has been charged with possessing a prohibited item, allegedly a mobile telephone, and his wife with supplying the item.

They are due to face the Innisfail Magistrate's Court on March 2.

A Corrective Services spokesman said they could not comment on issues before the court.
