"A SPY network of surveillance officers will monitor convicted criminals who have been released from jail on parole.The 16 surveillance officers will target high-risk offenders under a new plan by the State Government. Details show some released offenders could be monitored for up to 24 hours, seven days a week. All offenders on parole will face possible spot checks, surveillance and random drug tests by officers in a fleet of vans from August. The surveillance officers might keep watch from a car near a parolee's home or do random doorknocks to question parolees about their compliance with release conditions or curfews. A team of five Corrective Services intelligence officers will analyse the risks of parolees reoffending."
