JOB HINTS AT TROUBLE FOR JAIL: EX-BOSS

GRAFTON jail's hiring of casual workers straight from the local community is welcome news, but smacks of desperation, claims a former governor of the jail.

The NSW Department of Justice has placed classified advertisements in The Daily Examiner calling for "highly motivated individuals who are interested in providing high-standard security and containment services".

An information session for potential applicants will be held today at the jail between noon and 1pm.
