Corrective Services updates prison visitation

• 25 February 2021

Queensland Corrective Services (QCS) has updated operational requirements for applications by professionals/legal representatives to enter correctional centres for prisoner visits.

This includes the release of a new Form 27(a) – Application to Visit (In Person/Virtual) – Professional, Official or Other Business Purposes which removes the requirement for practitioners to make multiple applications with Form 27(a) to visit different centres or to see different prisoners.

The new version 11 of Form 27(a) enables application for approval to:

• access to any correctional centre in Queensland
• visitation with any prisoner in Queensland, and
• different visit types – including in-person visits, videoconferencing, and teleconferencing.

Existing approved Form 27(a)s on QCS records will have the new allowances applied when bookings are made, without the need to complete the new version of Form 27(a). However, the requirement for annual renewal of the form remains.

The identification requirements for professional/legal visitations have also been clarified. Only one form of identification is required as defined by section 22 of the Corrective Services Regulations 2017 . This can include State Government identification. A driver’s licence will not be required if alternate approved identification is provided.

Form 306 – Application for access to client video or teleconference – legal practitioner/professional/government agencies, has been decommissioned in light of the changes to the Form 27(a).

On this page:

You may be held in custody (for example a prison, youth detention centre or a police watch-house) if:

• you’re arrested for questioning  
• you’re arrested  and charged with a criminal offence and the police don’t give you watch-house bail before you go to court the first time
• you’ve been to court, but you’ve put off your matter so you’re on remand, and the court doesn’t give you bail
• you’ve been convicted but you’re still waiting to be sentenced and the court doesn’t give you bail
• you’re serving a sentence.

There are special rules for people under 17 being held in custody .

You still have basic rights while you’re being held in custody.

How long will I be in jail?

If you’re on remand, or arrested and not given bail, you’ll stay in jail until your next court date and then you can apply to the court for bail .

If you’ve been convicted and sentenced to a period of imprisonment (a jail sentence) the court will say how long you have to stay in jail.

You might not have to stay in prison for your entire sentence. You can get advice from the Prisoners' Legal Service about how your sentence is calculated and whether you’re eligible for parole and early release.

Young people in custody

If you’re under 17, you’ll be sent to a youth detention centre where young people are detained.

You’ll be automatically moved to an adult prison if:

• you’re over 17 when sentenced for an offence you committed when you were under 17 and you’re sentenced to more than 6 months in custody, or
• you turn 17 while serving a sentence in detention and you have 6 months or more left to serve in custody.

You’ll be given written notice of the transfer stating the date you’re to be moved. You can’t appeal a decision to be moved to an adult prison. Get legal advice.

You may not have to stay in prison for your entire sentence. You may be released on parole after you serve part of your sentence. If you’re released on parole, Queensland Corrective Services will supervise you until the end of your sentence and you must meet certain conditions, such as:

• not breaking the law
• receiving visits from a Corrective Services officer
• telling Corrective Services within 48 hours if you change address
• not leaving Queensland without permission
• being tested for drugs and alcohol
• attending courses, programs, meetings and counselling.

If you breach your parole conditions your parole may be suspended, amended or cancelled.

Suspending your parole

Your parole may be suspended if:

• you’ve breached a parole condition
• you’ve been charged with a new offence
• there is an unacceptable risk of you committing a new offence
• there is a serious and immediate risk of you harming someone
• you’re preparing to leave Queensland without permission.

If you breach a parole condition (eg by not reporting or returning a positive urine test), the Community Corrections office can suspend your parole for 28 days initially. This means you’ll be sent back to jail. After suspending the parole order, the community corrections office sends a report to the parole board, which must decide whether to:

• suspend the parole order for a further period
• cancel the parole order
• let you out after 28 days (known as a 28 day sanction).

The Prisoners' Legal Service can give you legal advice about conditions and breaches of parole. If your parole has been suspended because you’ve been charged with a new offence you should get legal advice.

Prisoners’ rights

Even when in jail you still have basic rights.

You have the right to:

• Talk to a lawyer: You can ask to be put on the list to get legal advice from a Legal Aid Queensland (LAQ) lawyer. If you already have a lawyer representing you, they can arrange to see you and write to you, and for you to speak to them over the phone.
• Receive Centrelink payments: Some Centrelink payments will continue if you’re on remand. Check with Centrelink.
• Receive visitors (who aren’t lawyers): You can have visits of at least 1 hour a week. You may be able to have other special visits in certain situations. Not everyone will be allowed to visit you. Someone with a criminal conviction may not be allowed. Visitors may be searched, and can’t bring in items such as cigarettes and alcohol. Each prison has its own rules.
• Send and receive letters and parcels : You can be sent letters and parcels, but the prison can read the letters and open the parcels. They may not let you have them if they think they’re not suitable.
• Make and receive phone calls : You can pay to make calls to people, but the prison records calls and can listen to them. You’ll usually have to get permission to put a person on your call list. People aren’t allowed to ring you unless there is a family crisis.

You can also call some numbers for free, such as:

• Prisoners' Legal Service
• Ombudsman . 

The prison doesn’t listen to these types of calls.

• Have a leave of absence: You may be allowed to leave the prison for a period of time to work, study, see a doctor or dentist, or for other compassionate reasons.
• Make a complaint: You can make a complaint in writing or see the official visitor.
• Sue for damages: You can sue for damages while in jail if you’re sentence is less than 3 years in jail (if it’s more than 3 years, you’ll need the Public Trustee to agree).
• Receive medical care: You can ask to see a doctor at the prison if you need medical treatment . You can also apply to see a private doctor, but conditions apply and you must pay for this yourself.
• Keep your infant children with you: If you’re female you may be able to keep your baby with you. You’ll need to apply to the prison.
• Vote: If you’re in jail, you can stay on the electoral roll or apply to enrol (with some exceptions). You can’t vote in state and local government elections if you’ve been convicted and are serving a sentence of imprisonment. See voting, census and jury duty . If you’re serving a full time jail sentence of less than 3 years, you can vote in federal elections, but if your sentence is 3 years or more you can’t vote in federal elections.
• Change your name: If you want to change your name, you must get the written approval of the Chief Executive (Corrective Services) before applying to change your name . If you don’t, this is a criminal offence.
• Request a transfer: You can apply to be moved to another prison in Queensland or in another state.

Medical treatment in prison

If you need medical treatment, you can ask the unit officer at the prison to put you on a list to see a doctor. If you’re not seen by a doctor, you can write a letter to the prison’s general manager using the blue envelopes available at the prison.

If you’re still not seen by a doctor, get legal advice from Prisoners' Legal Service .

For complaints about health care treatment, contact the Health Ombudsman.

Do I need legal advice?

You may need legal advice if you:

• are on remand, or arrested and not given bail, and you want to apply for bail
• want to know how your sentence is calculated
• have questions about parole or early release
• have questions about the risk of deportation after sentencing
• have new charges while on parole or while in custody
• have had requests to see a doctor refused after writing to the prison’s general manager of the prison.

How to get legal advice

We may give legal advice about young people in custody, jail sentences, parole and prisoners’ rights. We can’t give advice about internal prison matters.

The following organisations may be able to help.

Prisoners' Legal Service  gives specialist advice to prisoners about parole applications, breaches of parole conditions and issues within the prison, such as accommodation problems, transfer applications, disciplinary proceedings, and general help and advice.

Sisters Inside has a Supreme Court Bail program to help women on remand in Queensland find out if they are eligible for bail, and to assist with bail applications. They may also provide advocacy and support at bail hearings.

Queensland Law Society can refer you to a specialist private lawyer for advice or representation.

Who else can help?

These organisations may be able to help. They don’t provide legal advice.

Sisters Inside  gives support for women and their families while they are in prison and after they are released.

Probation and Parole has several roles including helping the courts and parole boards to assess an offender’s suitability for community placement, and helping offenders once they are placed back into the community.

Queensland Correctional Centres for Adults  lists all correctional centres (prisons) operated by the Queensland Government.

Queensland Corrective Services - Prisoner Location helps determine whether a person is in custody, and where they are being held.

New youth detention centre at woodford.

The Queensland Government is committed to keeping our community safe and supporting victims, actively tackling the complex causes of youth crime and targeting serious repeat offenders.

To create safer communities, and target serious repeat offenders, we will increase youth detention centre capacity by building a new youth detention centre in Woodford.

This new youth detention centre supports our goal to provide more regional youth detention services, facilitating connection to family, community, Country, and support services during detention and when transitioning back into community.

Located in Woodford, Moreton Bay, the centre is well-connected to Brisbane and surrounding areas, with easy access to major highways, and public transport options. This makes it convenient for transport to and from the centre, and for families, staff and services to access the centre.

While only an hour's drive from Brisbane, the centre's rural setting will be well-situated to enable complete focus on rehabilitation and ensure minimal disruption to surrounding communities.

Consultation on the new youth detention centre at Woodford is now open.

About the centre

The new youth detention centre at Woodford will include therapeutic design elements which aim to support rehabilitation for young people and improve community safety.

The features of the centre will include:

• 80 beds – comprised of two 40-bed campuses with some shared facilities in between
• smaller, more home-like accommodation units (8 or fewer beds per unit) purpose-built to encourage young people, staff, and stakeholders to work together
• consultation and treatment rooms
• multipurpose spaces for education, skills development and training
• areas for physical activity, green spaces
• spaces for cultural connection, faith and spiritual support.

Smaller, home-like accomodation units

80-bed capacity

Contemporary therapeutic design to support rehabilitation

Proposed design

We have engaged architects to lead the design of the centre. The centre will emulate best-practice principles, including trauma-informed design, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and carceral geography. Biophilia (incorporating elements of nature) and First Nations knowledge and culture will be reflected in the built environment.

The centre's method of design will support rehabilitation outcomes and improve community safety.

Therapeutic design

Youth detention centres play a crucial role in the management, rehabilitation and reintegration of young offenders into our communities.

Research shows a shift towards more therapeutic approaches to detention will support improved results for young people and improved community safety. A holistic approach focused on rehabilitation that takes into account the unique circumstances and challenges faced by young offenders will contribute to reduced recidivism.

One of the key features of a therapeutic model is the emphasis on mental health support. Many young offenders have experienced trauma, abuse or neglect, which can contribute to their involvement in criminal activities.

Although therapeutic, this is a place to consider the consequences of an offence.

Programs and services at the centre will aim to help young people take responsibility and be held accountable for their actions. They will promote the restoration of relationships and encourage positive choices.

The centre will promote prosocial values and behaviours, which evidence shows can lead to improved outcomes such as reduced rates of arrests and detention and lower rates of recidivism.

Young people will be helped to be aware of their behaviour and encouraged to make good decisions by promoting and reinforcing good behaviour. By setting clear boundaries and consequences for inappropriate behaviour, youth detention centres aim to teach accountability and responsibility. Young people will be treated with respect and dignity at all times and encouraged to treat others with respect and dignity.

Finding the right balance of welfare, justice and security is essential in creating an environment that promotes growth and accountability among young people in detention.

The youth detention centre will be built at the Woodford Correctional Precinct, adjacent to the existing adult correctional centre. The site was announced as the preferred site in May 2023.

The site meets important criteria for the effective operation of the centre and will have minimal negative effects on nearby residents and businesses.

Centres should ensure easy access for families, educational services, healthcare facilities, employees and contractors, while ensuring safety for young people and staff.

One of the key goals for our youth detention centres is to minimise disruption to the community.

The centre will be designed to provide a safe and secure environment for young offenders while also addressing their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

Often people are concerned about security in surrounding areas of youth detention centres. The young people attending the centre will only access it by using dedicated transport.

Facility renderings

Initial architect supplied renderings that provide an impression of what the facility will look like. These renderings help to illustrate how the building and spaces will look before it is built and represent the design intent.

To boost capacity and lead to better outcomes for young people in detention, a new youth remand facility will be fast-tracked and rapidly built at Wacol. This facility will accommodate approximately 50 young people until the first stage of the new youth detention centre at Woodford is operational.

The construction of the new youth detention centre in Woodford is scheduled to commence in 2024, with completion of Stage 1 of the centre targeted for 2026. The timeline for the project is indicative and subject to change depending on consultation, contractor availability and external variables such as the weather. Changes to the timeline will be reflected below.

Have your say

Consultation on the new youth detention centre at Woodford is now open. We are looking to hear from young people, key stakeholders and service providers, local Elders and the community. Your contributions will make a difference to the design and function of the centre. Provide feedback on the facility and the centre's operations.
