(The Center Square) — State Sen. Kevin Payne, R-Peoria, told The Center Square he was not impressed by the letter he received from the Arizona prison system about safety concerns after a series of inmate homicides. He called the department’s response “not all that good.” Last week, the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry responded to a letter Payne sent the department on June 4. The state senator inquired about the conditions at ADCRR correctional facilities. During fiscal year 2025, 10 homicides have occurred. This number would increase to 11 if inmate Indalecio Garcia’s death is proven to be a homicide. In the letter, ADCRR responded to 12 questions that Payne sent to the department. For six of these questions, ADCRR said Payne’s request was being sent to the corrections department's public records team. The senator said he thinks the department did that because he requested a lot of information. However, he noted ADCRR could have sent the public records requests sooner. Payne said he thinks the department waited until June 25, the deadline given by the state senator for the department to respond to his letter. In addition to answering questions from Payne, ADCRR Director Ryan Thornell said his department is underfunded and correctional guards are underpaid. Payne said he agreed with Thornell. The senator said the correctional guards whom he has spoken with told him that they feel “underpaid and overworked.” Over the last three years, Arizona has given correctional guards a raise, but there are still concerns about them being underpaid. Compared to Arizona, the states surrounding it pay their correctional guards more, according to Payne. ZipRecruiter says Arizona ranks last in the United States in terms of paying correctional guards. Payne told The Center Square he tried to give correctional guards another raise in the Arizona budget this year, but instead, the guards will get a bonus. Despite being disappointed in how the ADCRR responded to his letter, the senator noted the department did provide some information to him that he can use to address concerns about prisons. Payne cited information regarding Medication-Assisted Treatment. The letter describes MAT as an “evidence-based approach to the treatment of substance use disorder, utilizing medication in combination with counseling, behavioral therapies, and peer support for treatment.” In August 2023, when the state began tracking MAT, 692 inmates were receiving this treatment. In May 2025, 6,820 inmates were participating in MAT. Payne said correctional officers told him that inmates are not swallowing their medications in front of them, but instead they are “cheeking” them. The state senator said inmates who are doing this are either selling them to other inmates or saving up enough medication to get high from it. Going forward, Payne said a Senate committee will continue to gather more information and analyze the data provided by the ADCRR to the committee. The state senator is the chairman of this ad hoc committee. Payne said the ADCRR only answered a couple of questions, and the committee is still waiting on the data for the rest of the questions. He said his patience is wearing thin. He said he might use subpoena power to get more information from ADCRR. Payne said he is thinking of sending the ADCRR another follow-up letter in another week. However, before making this decision, he said he would need to review the information the department gave him. The Center Square contacted ADCRR for an interview, but the corrections department said it would be a few weeks before an interview could be conducted.

● Tanah Papua punya sumber daya alam yang sangat kaya, tapi sangat bergantung pada tambang. ● Banyak sektor potensial di Papua yang bisa dimaksimalkan, dari perikanan hingga konstruksi. ● Papua butuh perhatian lebih guna memaksimalkan sektor ekonomi nontambang dan capai pemerataan pembangunan. Tanah Papua dikenal sebagai salah satu wilayah dengan sumber daya alam terkaya di Indonesia. Sayangnya, potensi ekonomi Papua selama ini tertutup oleh masifnya eksploitasi alam dan pertambangan, seperti Freeport di Timika yang menjadi salah satu situs tambang emas terbesar di dunia. Terbaru, ada eksploitasi nikel di permata pariwisata nasional Raja Ampat, Papua. Padahal eksploitasi alam besar-besaran sudah terbukti tidak optimal memberikan manfaat yang seharusnya terhadap masyarakat Papua. Pemekaran membuat Papua kini memiliki enam provinsi, yaitu Papua, Papua Barat, Papua Selatan, Papua Tengah, Papua Pegunungan, dan Papua Barat Daya. Masing-masing wilayah menyimpan peluang investasi luar biasa yang belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Pembangunan Papua yang berbasis investasi inklusif dan berkelanjutan justru bisa menjadi titik balik penting dalam sejarah pembangunan Indonesia. Caranya dengan memaksimalkan geliat sektor ekonomi lain yang berpotensi membangun Papua secara berkelanjutan. Tidak melulu mengandalkan sektor tambang eksploitatif yang sudah terbukti tidak optimal memberikan manfaat yang seharusnya pada Papua. Ragam sektor potensial di Papua Tanah Papua dianugerahi kekayaan sumber daya alam yang melimpah. Hal ini membuatnya memiliki potensi besar di sektor perikanan, pertanian, pariwisata, hingga jasa konstruksi. Dari sisi produksi hampir semua bidang usaha di Papua mengalami pertumbuhan positif pada periode 2022-2024 (lihat tabel di bawah). Tabel PDRB Papua 2022-2024 (miliar rupiah) Dengan luas wilayah laut yang mencapai 106.598,9 km2 dan bentangan garis pantai 12.455 km, Papua memiliki potensial tak terbatas di bidang perikanan dan kemaritiman. Realisasi sektor ini mencatat nilai tambah sebesar Rp4,16 triliun terhadap Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB) pada tahun 2023. Sementara sektor pertanian per tahun 2023 memberikan nilai tambah sebesar Rp11,82 triliun atau senilai 14,46% dari total PDRB. Sumbangsih tersebut ditopang komoditas seperti padi, kopi, teh, kakao, dan kelapa sawit menunjukkan volume produksi yang besar. Sayangnya kekayaan sumber daya alam ini tidak diiringi kehadiran industri pengolahan yang dapat meningkatkan nilai tambah dan membuka lapangan kerja. Selain itu, Papua juga kerap menjadi sasaran empuk aksi ilegal fishing baik skala nasional ataupun internasional. Sektor konstruksi pun menjadi penyumbang terbesar PDRB Papua dengan nilai Rp16,68 triliun pada 2023. Namun di sisi lain, Papua juga merupakan provinsi dengan indeks kemahalan konstruksi tertinggi nasional. Hal ini mencerminkan persoalan serius dalam logistik, rantai pasok bahan bangunan, dan akses terhadap pasar tenaga kerja yang terampil. Jika melihat sektor pertambangan, Papua Tengah menjadi pusat utama eksploitasi mineral dengan nilai tambah mencapai Rp78 triliun dalam PDRB 2023. Akan tetapi, ketergantungan ekonomi terhadap sektor ekstraktif semata tidak berkelanjutan. Tanpa hilirisasi dan pengolahan lokal, keuntungan terbesar akan terus menguap ke luar Papua. Permasalahan lama yang tak tersentuh Data Badan Koordinasi Penanaman Modal (BKPM) menunjukkan adanya ketimpangan dalam aliran investasi pascapemekaran. Provinsi Papua Tengah mencatatkan Penanaman Modal Asing (PMA) terbesar senilai US$968 juta (Rp15,6 triliun). Sebagian besar dana ini berasal dari sektor pertambangan. Sebaliknya, Papua Pegunungan tidak mencatatkan investasi asing sama sekali. Tren Penanaman Modal Dalam Negeri (PMDN) pun masih terpusat pada sektor-sektor yang bersifat dasar (seperti perdagangan, konstruksi, dan jasa). Adapun sektor manufaktur dan industri pengolahan hampir tidak tersentuh. Pola investasi ini mencerminkan keterbatasan infrastruktur, tantangan aksesibilitas, dan minimnya strategi hilirisasi ekonomi yang sistematis. Alasan mengapa usaha pengembangan wilayah Indonesia timur belum berhasil, dan solusinya Untuk mengubah arah pembangunan, diperlukan strategi yang tidak biasa-biasa saja, antara lain: 1. Prioritaskan infrastruktur dan konektivitas Pembangunan infrastruktur dan konektivitas harus diprioritaskan. Hal ini tidak hanya dalam konteks pembangunan jalan dan pelabuhan, tetapi juga dalam penguatan konektivitas digital dan energi. Daerah seperti Papua Pegunungan dan Papua Selatan membutuhkan pelabuhan perikanan terpadu dan akses transportasi untuk mempercepat pengembangan sektor produktif. 2. Dorong hilirisasi lokal lewat insentif investasi Tanpa industri pengolahan hasil tambang, pertanian, dan perikanan, Papua akan terus bergantung pada komoditas mentah. Karena itu diperlukan hilirisasi melalui insentif investasi untuk mendirikan pabrik pengolahan tembaga dan emas di Papua Tengah, industri pengolahan kelapa sawit dan kakao di Papua Selatan, serta pengolahan hasil perikanan di wilayah pesisir. 3. Penguatan SDM lokal Penguatan sumber daya manusia (SDM) lokal menjadi kunci utama. Papua memiliki potensi tenaga kerja muda yang besar, tetapi sebagian besar belum memiliki keterampilan teknis dan industri. Pemerintah perlu membangun pusat-pusat pelatihan vokasi berbasis sektor unggulan (seperti pertambangan, perikanan, dan konstruksi) di setiap provinsi. Pemberian insentif bagi investor yang melibatkan dan melatih tenaga kerja lokal juga harus diperkuat. 4. Kemudahan regulasi Reformasi regulasi dan penyederhanaan perizinan sangat penting untuk meningkatkan iklim investasi. Banyak investor menilai hambatan utama dalam berinvestasi di Tanah Papua, yaitu adanya ketidakpastian hukum atas kepemilikan lahan, lambannya proses birokrasi, serta minimnya koordinasi antara pusat dan daerah. Solusi yang realistis adalah dengan membentuk zona ekonomi khusus (KEK) berbasis potensi lokal dan digitalisasi sistem perizinan (OSS). 5. Pemberdayaan masyarakat adat Pemberdayaan masyarakat adat dan peningkatan stabilitas sosial merupakan hal yang tak kalah penting. Investasi tidak boleh berjalan di atas konflik lahan atau mengorbankan kearifan lokal. Pemerintah daerah harus aktif memfasilitasi dialog antara investor dan masyarakat, membangun mekanisme perlindungan sosial, serta memperjelas status hukum atas tanah ulayat. Papua bukan hanya kaya akan sumber daya alamnya semata, tetapi juga bisa memberikan sumbangsih nyata bagi perekonomian nasional juga asal dikelola dengan pendekatan yang tepat. Kita perlu menggeser paradigma dari Papua sebagai objek pembangunan menjadi Papua sebagai subjek ekonomi nasional. Ini bukan soal belas kasih, tetapi soal keadilan dan akal sehat pembangunan jangka panjang agar pemerataan pembangunan nasional tercapai dan tidak ada daerah yang tertinggal.

The one tonne gold kangaroo coin at the Perth Mint. Shutterstock On the Australian one dollar coin, you will often find the famous representation of a mob of five kangaroos. But when did the kangaroo first appear on money? My new research, published in the Australian Coin Review, tracks through history the iconic representation of kangaroos on numismatic items: coins, tokens, paper notes and other objects that can act as money to enable the effective trade of goods. It turns out that the first representation of a kangaroo on money was not in Australia, but actually in England in 1795. ‘The kanguroo’ In 1795, Thomas Hall of City Road near Finsbury Square in London – a well known taxidermist and exhibitor of exotic animals – issued half penny tokens depicting three exotic animals: a kangaroo (spelt “The Kanguroo”), an armadillo, and a rhinoceros. A tradeable token issued in London 1795 shows the first representation of a kangaroo (spelt ‘The Kanguroo’) on a numismatic item. Author provided: photo AG Dyer, CC BY Trade tokens were used in the late 18th century in England (and also much of the 19th century in Australia and New Zealand) due to insufficient supplies of official coinage for small-scale transactions. The depiction on Hall’s 1795 token was inspired by the painting The Kongouro from New Holland (1772) by the English painter George Stubbs. The oil painting by George Stubbs in 1772 titled The Kongouro from New Holland. Wikimedia Commons Stubbs had been commissioned by the famous naturalist Sir Joseph Banks, based on an inflated skin of a kangaroo Banks had collected from the east coast of Australia during 1770. His sister, Sarah Sophia Banks, was an important collector of English tokens and ultimately bequeathed her entire collection of tokens to the British Museum. The representation of a kangaroo with its head turned backwards looking over the shoulder on the Stubbs painting and the 1795 token is anatomically possible, but a less frequent depiction compared to a forward facing kangaroo common on modern coins. Nevertheless, one kangaroo on our current dollar appears to hold a similar pose. The classic mob of kangaroo design by Stuart Devlin, and the new obverse effigy of King Charles III by Daniel Thorne on the new Australian one dollar coins. Author provided: photo AG Dyer, CC BY The Banks link A McIntosh and Degraves Saw Mills, Tasmania, shilling token dated 1823 is one of Australia’s first and rarest numismatic items. It also represents a kangaroo looking over its shoulder. An example of this rare token housed at Museums Victoria collection carries an attribution which says it was possibly minted at Boulton Mint in Soho, England. A 1 Shilling 1823 silver token issued by Macintosh & Degraves Sawmills, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Copyright Museums Victoria, CC BY If this is the case, the design may also be linked to the animal in the Stubbs painting. Mathew Boulton from the Boulton Mint in England was a friend of Sir Banks, and the two men wrote to each other about the collection of Sarah Sophia Banks. The design element for representing kangaroos could have been passed on by Mathew Boulton to his son who ran the mint by the time the dated 1823 silver kangaroo token was made. Thus the very first depictions of kangaroos on early money share links to Sir Banks and some of his contemporaries. Tracing the evolution A variety of depictions of kangaroos on trade tokens were employed during the 19th century in Australia. Some, like the 1855 copper tokens from the John Allen General Stores in Jamberoo, New South Wales, are very rare and known by only a few surviving examples . John Allen General Stores (Jamberoo, NSW) token showing the Arms of New South Wales supported by a poorly formed kangaroo and emu. Museums Victoria, CC BY When I surveyed literature of known Australian tokens during the 19th century about 23% depicted a kangaroo – frequently as an incorporation into a coat of arms. After federation, a distinctive official Australian currency emerged. This often used kangaroos as part of a coat of arms design. The first sixpence coins were issued in 1911 and carried a common design of a forward facing kangaroo and emu as part of the coat of arms through to 1963. On florin coins, which were worth two shillings or 24 pennies in the pre-decimal money system that lasted up until 1966, the style was modernised from 1938 with a newer representation of a kangaroo and emu. On pennies and half pennies from 1939 a forward facing kangaroo was the main reverse design and lasted until 1964 when pre-decimal currency began to be phased out. New decimal currency was introduced on February 14 1966. Kangaroos appeared on the dollar note. The durability of the dollar note was short, however, meaning individual paper notes had to be frequently withdrawn from circulation and replaced. Production of one dollar notes was stopped in 1984. The replacement dollar coins featuring the mob of kangaroos proved very durable, and 1984 examples of the coin can still be found in change today. On our current decimal coins, that have been in use since the 1960s, the 50 cent piece shows another representation of a kangaroo and emu on the coat of arms that can be found in change over 50 years after their first release. The kangaroo and emu on the coat of arms has been on our 50 cent coins for over 50 years. Wojciech Boruch/Shutterstock Many decimal coins now have special issues featuring kangaroos, like the 2024 Paris Olympic Games two dollar coin series with fun kangaroos performing athletic tricks with icons of the Paris landscape in the backgound. The kangaroo has truly become an iconic symbol of Australian numismatics, and now famous coins like the one tonne gold kangaroo coin at the Perth Mint are major tourist attractions showing how far we have come since the first representation in 1795.
