OZschwitz gulag: Resist rehabilitation? Stay in jail for life

behind bars after their sentences have finished under a radical plan by the NSW government that will target prisoners who resist rehabilitation.

Premier Kristina Keneally will today order Corrective Services to begin an audit of the 750 ''worst of the worst'' prisoners in NSW.

Prisoners refusing rehabilitation programs or judged not to have taken responsibility for their crimes will be detained indefinitely under new powers. The plan will build on the Crimes (Serious Sex Offenders) Act, which provides for the extended detention and strict monitoring of rapists and sexual offenders.
Motekiai Taufahema (above) killed Special Constable Glenn McEnally. Bassam Hamzy shot an 18-year-old outside a Sydney nightclub.

Extended Supervision Orders would be expanded to keep murderers and violent criminals caged in the same way as sex offenders.

Prisoners such as Motekiai Taufahema, who murdered Senior Constable Glenn McEnally in 2002 and is due for release in two years, could be locked up for longer if he is deemed not to have reformed.

It is thought more than 50 inmates could expect to be locked up beyond the end of their sentences after the review is completed. Ms Keneally said: ''This is about sending a message to the worst prisoners: 'If you don't do the rehabilitation, you know what? You won't get out.'

''Those prisoners who do the right thing will not be impacted by this review … but those refusing to take responsibility for their actions will be identified.''

Civil libertarians said the plan undermined the justice system and would deter prisoners from rehabilitation if their sentences were effectively meaningless.

NSW Council of Civil Liberties secretary Stephen Blanks said: ''The rule of law requires politicians to set the framework of justice and for judges to deliver sentences away from political influence.

''The prison system is there to encourage prisoners to reform but, if they know they can effectively be re-sentenced by the government, there is no incentive to reform.''
