The Custodial Operation Division provides strategic oversight, governance and support for the delivery of 24/7 custodial services for public sector operated correctional facilities in Queensland. Custodial Operations develops and monitors performance standards for probation, parole and custodial services throughout Queensland through key functional areas of operational practice, governance, compliance and risk.
Correctional centres are responsible for delivering custodial services across Queensland. People in custody are supervised in high or low security correctional centres. High security centres manage adult prisoners held in secure custody correctional centres across Queensland. The Lockyer Valley Correctional Centre forms part of a Government decision to respond to increasing prisoner numbers by increasing bed capacity, while also addressing mental health, substance use,
and the availability of beds for complex prisoner cohorts.
The Facility will provide accommodation units from high to low classification, providing accommodation for male sentenced prisoners. For male prisoners requiring specialised living environments and/or interventions, separate accommodations support specialist management and intervention in environments designed to respond to and manage complex medical, cognitive and behavioural needs.
