This #takealookinside Tuesday, we visit Townsville Correctional Complex to see how NAIDOC celebrations build understanding and connection through culture. Held in August to accommodate visiting elders, the centre's NAIDOC celebrations present a chance to learn and share more about First Nations people and culture, to better support and address their needs while in custody and during reintegration into community.

About us
Queensland Corrective Services is a top tier forward thinking public safety agency. We are committed to using evidence-based best practice to ensure officer safety, reduced recidivism and improved outcomes for offenders. We provide end-to-end supervision of offenders, with custodial and community corrections working together in partnership to achieve positive outcomes. As a professional, transparent and accountable learning organisation, we are committed to the humane containment, supervision and rehabilitation of offenders. People are at the heart of our business, and officer safety is an absolute priority. Everyone deserves a safe workplace, and we have a duty of care to provide safe environments for officers and the offenders in our custody and supervision. We expect the highest degree of professionalism and ethical behaviour from our officers at all times. We manage approximately 28,000 of the most challenging and difficult people in our community. Nearly 20,000 of those are managed by Community Corrections officers who work in the community and play a vital role in reducing recidivism. Every day, our work makes Queensland a safer place to live and work. Our officers are committed, professional and innovative.

"We're trying to set them up with the best possible opportunity to step out of here, when they're very focused on going to work every day, having a good interaction with education and taking that positive momentum with them out into the community." There’s something brewing at Lotus Glen Low Custody with prisoners taking part in a barista course, designed to help them find employment and reduce re-offending when released back into the community.
