Two 17-year-olds escaped from the Alice Springs youth jail overnight, and are still on the run, with the escape coming in the middle of a prison overcrowding crisis where the youths were set to be moved to Darwin to serve their time.
On Tuesday, Corrections Minister Gerard Maley said the new Holtze youth jail was set to be fully operational by early next week, with youth inmates from Alice Springs set to be permanently moved there under the Finocchiaro Government’s overcrowded prisons plan.
It was only a matter of time…riots will be next!!!
