A custodial corrections officer at Woodford Correctional Centre was suspended from duty on 27 April 2020, as a result of an ongoing investigation.
This is due to allegations relating to possession of drugs, failing to comply with policy and procedure relating to prisoner’s property, misusing their authority and inappropriately disclosing confidential information.
