Human Rights Standards for ACT Corrective Services: community feedback sought

2018-04-07

Shane Rattenbuiry, MLA

Community feedback is welcomed on Human Rights Standards that will apply to ACT Corrective Services to ensure detainees are safe and have regular access to treatment and rehabilitation.

The ACT Government has today released standards which outline how a detainee will supported from their initial contact with corrections through to their release. Correctional centres in the ACT must be a safe and secure environment where all persons are protected from harm and feel safe, and security is managed in the least restrictive way possible in the circumstances.
