BREAKING: Corrective Services Minister Paul Papalia has announced they have removed Corrective Services Commissioner Mike Reynolds as the State Government attempts to stem the flood of controversy surrounding WA’s prison system.

Mr Papalia refused to answer questions on whether or not former Commissioner Mike Reynolds has been removed from the department, yet confirmed what he called a “reset” in Corrective Services leadership.

WA Prison Officers Union Secretary Andy Smith told Gary Adshead on 6PR MorningsĀ he hopes the sudden about-turn would result in clearer process surrounding issues within detention centres.

“The previous minister showed no interest in interacting with this union or working with us; I look forward to meeting with the new commissioner, hopefully in the very near future,” Mr Smith said.
