prison conditions

Most middle class Australians don't expect ever to finish up in prison, and they show little interest in prison conditions. A lot of people believe that all people imprisoned in Australia are imprisoned because they deserve to be. Even if this were so, which it is not (see list of research articles end of this article), removal of freedom is not supposed to be exacerbated by additional horrible conditions.

The United Nations has decided to suspend its anti-torture mission to Australia after inspectors were denied entry into several jails, calling it a “clear breach” of international obligations.  (Report from Presstv.ir originally published on 24 October 2022 at https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2022/10/24/691487/UN-halts-visit-Australia-after-anti-torture-mission-barred).
