Good news for Victorian crooks?

According to a recent news report, Victorian prisons, other 'correctional' facilities and, even Police holding cells, are bursting at the seams with little or no prospect of relief in the near to medium future. I imagine other states may be suffering the same problems... with the hairy chested (but, thick-headed) variety of 'law and order' politicians generally rampant in Australia at the moment?

An immediate reaction might be to apply a 'by-pass' system to delivery of convicted felons, similar to that used to divert emergency ambulances from grossly overflowing hospitals? Except that, every other form if incarceration is chock-a-block as well.

They'll be wanting to resurrect ye olde English HULKS next ... whilst maybe 'foxing' around to find some god-forsaken patch of unclaimed land unto which our surplus convicts might be ... er... transported perhaps?
