DOZENS of prison officers committed criminal offences last year, including bashing inmates, assaulting and bullying co-workers and stealing, according to a confidential Corrective Services report.
The department held 162 misconduct hearings into staff between last January and June and found enough evidence to warrant disciplinary or further action in 65 cases.
Despite these findings, only one case, where an officer stole property from another officer, was referred to police.
