The Chief Ombudsman's raised concerns about staffing shortages, saying prisoners are being locked up for extended periods and their rehabilitation needs are not being met.
Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis says it's also disappointing to hear non-approved techniques have been used to control prisoners.
He's been talking with Corrections hierarchy about the report.
Davis expects to meet with Serco for a please explain, and see what needs to happen to right this situation.
