Australian prisoner gets supervised sex and drugs in plea deal

It's almost too fanciful to be true: a prisoner is picked up from jail and taken for a drive by police officers through the suburbs on Brisbane's southside.

He's handed a list of unsolved break-and-enters, perhaps as many as 300. He reads the details: how entry was gained, what was taken, the time the crime was committed.

And he's told that he needs to admit to at least 20 to make his reward worthwhile.

According to evidence given by the prisoner to the Crime and Misconduct Commission, police then collected his girlfriend and delivered her to Morningside police station.

It was there where they engaged in sex and the prisoner injected himself with drugs his girlfriend brought.

The prisoner, called RI appeared in the scathing report into police released this week.
