Topics considered in the portrayal of Victoria's prison industries are workforce composition, the value of production, the profitability of the industries, the investment in plants, the sale of products, and incentive pay schemes. Remand facilities are described for both men and women, with attention to facility provisions, the population profile, daily routine, a proposed new remand center, and the future growth of remand populations. Another major section outlines the exercise of prisoners' and prison officers' human rights, along with the discipline of prisoners and officers and implications of the trend toward public access to prisons, notably accountability in the selection of staff. The discussion of prisoner exchange arrangements in Asia and the Pacific notes that no action has been taken to return prisoners from overseas countries to serve sentences in Victoria and that foreign-born prisoners create few problems in Victoria due to their permanent residence in the State and accompanying family support. The section on drug offenders in prisons examines the management of this group, the alternative placements available, and the opportunities provided for self-improvement. The upgrading of Victoria's prisons relevant to international accreditation is also described. The appendix contains tabular data on the capacities of Victorian prisons by cell size as of December 1980 and the Report on Victorian Prison Practice with Regard to the United Nations Minimum Standard Rules and the Draft Australian Rules. Extensive tabular and graphic data are provided throughout the presentation.
