The Corrections Association says it's concerned about the lack of detail in the Government's funding announcement.

The Government's injecting $1.9 billion into Corrections to establish more prison beds, bolster frontline staff, and provide further support for offenders.

Corrections Minister Mark Mitchell says the association wasn't consulted due to budget sensitivities.

Association President Floyd du Plessis told Mike Hosking that the details around areas like staffing haven't been clearly communicated. 

He questions whether the staff will be recruited in addition to what they're already short or to meet what's needed as a baseline.
