PRISONERS at a southeast Queensland jail are being bribed with Paddle Pops to keep their cells clean.

The new incentive scheme at Woodford Correctional Centre has angered prison officers, who say the inmates should be compelled to be tidy.

"It's an absolute joke," one officer said yesterday. "Prisoners are supposed to be told what to do, not asked."

The prison, north of Brisbane, recently introduced the scheme as a cleanliness incentive for inmates.

"Every month, prisoners in the unit voted the best (cleanest) will be rewarded with Paddle Pops," the prison's assistant general manager, Sheila Duncan, said in a memo obtained by The Courier-Mail.

"Each Friday, from the general manager's inspection, the unit which has the highest standard of cleanliness or has shown the highest improvement will be in the draw for the monthly reward.

"The unit which overall (sic) impresses the general manager the most will be awarded a Paddle Pop for every prisoner."

The prison officer who spoke with The Courier-Mail said the ice-cream incentives were "bizarre" and came at a time when officer morale was at "rock bottom".

A Corrective Services spokesman said scheme was important in motivating inmates, that the Paddle Pops cost only 87? each and were funded from Woodford's existing budget.

I think its a good idea actually. Just because someone is in prison doesnt make them a bad person. They are doing thier time. Some people go to prison because they cant pay for things, some people are innocent, some people have done crimes and will always be a criminal.

The whole point of prision is to keep them from the public, rehabilitate them and punish them. But this can be done with dignity. For some people thier whole lives have been let down by society. To treat them like a human for a change is probably a first to them.

Besides i would keep my cell clean for an ice pop

You are naive if you think murderers and rapists are actually in jail, they are the ones walking the streets. The ones in jail are the ones who dont pay taxes
