Industrial dispute in correctional centres may affect legal visits and audiovisual links

Tue Oct 28 2008

The Public Service Association has organised a�protest rally�for Wednesday, 29 October 2008 against the reforms to correctional centres.�The PSA advises that there will be "unavoidable disruption" on 29 October 2008 to audiovisual links, legal visits and custody matters.�Many correctional centres in NSW will only be operating with minimal staff.�The only court escorts that can proceed, in the circumstances, will be those involving inmates in District or Supreme Court trials.�

Inmates that were required to attend the Local Court or District Court for other matters will be relisted by the courts concerned.�Matters where inmates were required to attend by way of audio visual Link will also be relisted.� Any legal practitioners wishing to visit their clients on 29 October 2008 are advised to contact the relevant correctional centre to verify that legal visits can proceed.

For further information, contact John Simon, executive director, legal services at the Department of Corrective Services, on ph: (02)�8346 1146.
