A new and undisclosed technique for restraining young people in detention in WA will not involve 'a folding of the legs', but the Department of Justice says further details will not be released.
CCTV footage from Banksia Hill Detention Centre was part of a Four Corners investigation.Details of a new restraint planned for juveniles at Banksia Hill Detention Centre will not be disclosed, the Department of Justice says, as the potentially deadly "folding-up" technique is phased out this month.
In April, WA Inspector of Custodial Services Eamon Ryan said the treatment of detainees in the facility's intensive support unit was "cruel, inhuman and degrading". In its place, a new restraint was to be introduced by December 14, but the department told the ABC on Tuesday it would not be disclosing details about the new method.
"For security reasons, the Department of Justice is not providing further information about the alternative restraint technique."
