Summary
Queensland’s prison system is under fire after a damning report reveals nearly half of released inmates return to jail within two years—blaming overcrowded facilities and lack of rehabilitation for a vicious cycle. With inmate numbers soaring 54% in a decade and high-security prisons dangerously over capacity, critics say the system can’t be “tough on crime” if it can’t help people rebuild their lives. While the government points to new facilities and falling crime rates as proof of success, the audit highlights crippling delays in programs and minimal support for those leaving custody—fueling a national debate over justice, safety, and what it really takes to break the revolving door.
