4.9 Profiling of inmates 4.9.1 The DCS should prioritise the profiling and re-classification of inmates at the New Kimberley Correctional Centre. Wrongful classification exposes first-time and petty offenders to abuse by, and the influence of, serious maximum security offenders as well as a prison gangs, thus negatively impacting on their rehabilitation. As centres' security measures differ depending on the profile of the inmates meant to be detained there, mixing categories of offenders could result in serious breaches, as was apparently the case during the 3 August riot at the New Kimberley Correctional Centre. The DCS should ensure proper profiling of offenders, ensuring that habitual and serious offenders incarcerated in centres not used for the inacarceration of first time offenders. As a further precautionary measure, the DCS should ensure that known gang members are separated from those offenders not involved in gang activity.
