This is just one of the issues someone who is imprisoned has to deal with.I wonder what happened to the doll collection when he whent to jail, like someone else must of known about them and packed them up, im now assuming that the dolls in the photos may of been from the C Street house, I wonder what happens to your belongings if you live in government housing and go to jail im assuming you won't be able to keep it as you will no longer hav centerlink payments to pay your rent, I wonder if the painter that saw the collection was at the C Street property
A solicitor will often cite the loss of their clients public housing property as the main argument for them not going to gaol as the tumult that often follows the loss of a place they may have waited ten years to be allocated bears heavily on their rehabilitation.
There are of course programs in place that help people find accommodation upon their release from prison but yes, someone may lose their possessions in the interim or be placed in a location far from family etc
You can probably imagine how little support some people have prior to going to gaol. Occasionally a prisoner may retain his or her public housing dwelling but this is usually only when they've received a short term, 3-6 months for example and for an offence deemed acceptable when considering their affect on the surrounding tenants.
A CSO will absolutely not be returned to a public housing property situated amongst those that families occupy, for example.
