Australia to pay women’s prison operator $11,000 for every inmate who avoids reoffending for two years

‘A pilot program in Australia will see a state government pay the operator of a private women’s prison a bonus for every convict who manages to keep a clean record for two years after being released.
The program is focused on western Australia’s newest women’s prison, which is one of three private prisons in the state and is run by international conglomerate Sodexo. The company has a two-decade record of providing detention services for the UK government.
The operator will receive 15,000 Australian dollars (US$11,000) for every inmate who stays on the right side of the law for two years after release, provided that the number of such women is above a specified level. At present, a third of all women prisoners in Australia end up reoffending.’
