The Department of Correctional Services decides who will be incarcerated at private prisons. Whilst the facility provides many services and activities, inmates still want to be transferred. Inmates stated that they needed to be closer to home where they will at least have frequent visits from their families. The Committee was informed that because of the commitment, passion and tight security at these facilities, smuggling, such as the smuggling of substances, does not occur. This is extremely problematic for inmates, especially during the first six months.
