Alexander Maconochie Centre—COVID-19 quarantine facilities
(Question No 436)

Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Corrections, upon notice, on 17 September 2021:

(1) How many individual cells and other spaces would be feasible for the quarantine of detainees who test positive for COVID-19 in the Alexander Maconochie Centre

(2) How many of these spaces would be for (a) women and (b) male detainees.

Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The Management Unit is the accommodation being used for isolation of new admissions and quarantine of positive COVID-19 cases. As needs dictate, and subject to total detainee numbers, it would be feasible to use other units within the AMC (with varying bed capacity) for the purposes of quarantine of positive cases.
