The Supreme Court of Western Australia finds three young detainees were subjected to 'solitary confinement on a frequent basis' and were unlawfully locked in their cells at Banksia Hill Detention Centre and Unit 18 for prolonged periods.
The Supreme Court of Western Australia has found three young detainees were subjected to "solitary confinement on a frequent basis" and were unlawfully locked in their cells at Banksia Hill Detention Centre and Unit 18 for prolonged periods.
"Subjecting young people — children — to solitary confinement on a frequent basis is not only inconsistent with the objectives and principles of the [Young Offenders] Act but also with basic notions of the humane treatment of young people," Justice Paul Tottle said in his judgement. "The causes of the systemic failure are an endemic shortage of suitably qualified staff, inadequate infrastructure and a consequent inability to manage detainees with difficult behavioural problems.Inadequate infrastructure and staff shortages were exacerbating the issues at Banksia Hill, the court found.
