We conducted an inspection of Tamworth Correctional Centre in November 2021.
- Tamworth Correctional Centre is a medium-security facility that accommodates up to 89 men
- the centre accommodates for a high percentage of Aboriginal men
- the centre is located near the town centre of Tamworth in the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales.
Our inspection focused on:
- custodial conditions, including safety and security
- treatment, care and wellbeing of inmates, including privacy
- rehabilitation of inmates, including programs, education, and preparation for release
- resources and systems, including the staffing and management of each correctional centre.
The Inspector of Custodial Services may consider any other relevant matters in the course of this inspection.
