1. The current approved bed space at the Parys Correctional Centre is 68 and it should be noted that the infrastructure is aging. The construction of a new correctional centre has commenced on the existing site with an intention to add 176 new bed space.
2. The design of the new correctional centre as mentioned above is based on the new generation Unit Management principle which limits overreliance on human capital. Based on the design concept the Department will be in a position to manage the operational requirements with the current personnel establishment.
END.
