VIC: Port Phillip Prison announces new director

The often troubled Port Phillip Prison in Melbourne's west has a new director -- KELVIN
ANDERSON.

Group 4 Corrections Services says Mr ANDERSON will take over as director next week, ending
current director DAVE MCDONNELL'S two years at the helm.

Mr MCDONNELL is due to return to England to run another Group 4 prison.

Mr ANDERSON was most recently general manager of the Victorian operations of the
Corrections Corporation of Australia which operates and manages the Metropolitan Women's
Correctional Centre at Deer Park.





The privately run Port Phillip Prison, which replaced the notorious Pentridge Prison at
Coburg, has been plagued by problems since it opened in 1997, including riots and several
prisoner deaths.
