"THE Queensland Government has created a cycle of criminal reoffending across the State, according to an independent report released yesterday which slams the prison system for 'dumping unprepared, under-resourced and unassisted prisoners back into the community'.

The report, 'Incorrections: investigating prison release practice and policy in Queensland and its impact on community safety', is an independent study conducted by the Queensland University of Technology for the Uniting Care Centre for Social Justice (UCCSJ). - http://www.ucareqld.com.au/SocialJustice/Documents/prison%20report%20tamara%20walsh.doc "
