Prisoners are encouraged to develop increased levels of self responsibility and, as in secure custody, opportunities are provided for their participation in education, work, vocational training and programs. Open custody is seen as a step towards rehabilitation and graduated release. Six open custody facilities across Queensland (including three annexure to secure custody centres) hold approximately 13 percent of the State's prisoners.
