	More on Prison
		Prisons conventionally are institutions authorised by governments and forming part of a country's criminal justice system, or as facilities for holding prisoners of war.
		Individuals may also be committed to prison by a court before a trial, verdict or sentence, generally because the court determines that there is a risk to society or a risk of absconding prior to a trial.
		Prisons form part of military systems, and are used variously to house prisoners of war, enemy combatants, and those whose freedom is deemed a risk by military authorities.

	REGIONAL REPORT OF INQUIRY INTO INDIVIDUAL DEATHS IN CUSTODY IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA VOLUME 2 - Unit Management
		The traditional role of prison officers in Western Australia has centred upon custodial and disciplinary duties, however in the last three years there has been a dramatic change in the role definition of prison officers and indeed in the structure and approach of prison and prisoner management as a whole.
		To function effectively the unit management system requires that the traditional role of prison officers be extended beyond that of custody and discipline and encompass their attending to the welfare needs of prisoners, assisting in the provision of constructive activities for prisoners and contributing to the provision of developmental opportunities for prisoners.
		Prison officers should be in a better position to identify changes in moods of individual prisoners and to note those that may require closer observation, counselling or other assistance.

		Secondly, the presence of education and training facilities in prisons helps to promote the acquisition of new skills and knowledge by prisoners whose educational levels tend to be disproportionately lower than those of the general community.
		Prisoners may be involved in education and training in a variety of ways.
		Prison education has not been immune to these requirements and continued funding is increasingly linked to performance indicators which include the number of externally certificated course completions by prisoners.

		The riot at Casuarina prison on Christmas day six years ago was largely attributed to an overcrowded prison system and a department that could not cope with a rapid influx of prisoners in the latter part of the year.
		In fact the increase in the states prison population has occurred despite a number of legislative reforms designed to decrease the rate of imprisonment such as eliminating sentences of six months or less.
		Our prison population today is at its highest ever and the growth in the rate of women being locked away is much greater in Western Australia than in any other state.

		This lack of focus was evident through the Department’s failure to bring about a change in the custodial culture at Casuarina Prison, through the declining skill mix of staff and through the degrading of staffing numbers at this prison.
		The rehabilitative efforts of the prison were likewise hindered through an absence of case management; an insufficient number and limited breadth of programs; and poor coordination across the site.
		The establishment of an effective grievance and complaints systems is a necessary component of this service delivery but in general, the prison does not appear to have the resources to meet the demands of its various populations and in some cases appears unaware of their needs.

		Police officers and prison officers were those groups most likely to be involved in acts of abuse or torture, yet from the report's description, he was not certain that such persons were really being trained in torture prevention or that the expertise of rehabilitation centres was being tapped.
		The conditions in maximum security prisons were a matter of special concern, particularly in the light of allegations of excessive and improper use of physical restraint such as chemical sprays, shackles, hobbles, handcuffs and full-body "restraint beds", which could constitute a breach of article 16 of the Convention.
		Special handling units were said to be used for punitive purposes and prisoners were allegedly kept in their cells under the "lockdown" system for unduly long periods, especially in Casuarina Maximum Prison and Bandyup Women's Prison.
