	Walkabout - Junee
		Junee has also profited financially from the construction of the state's first high-tech and privately operated correctional centre which houses some 750 inmates.
		Initially known as Junee Junction, it was renamed 'Loftus' in 1883 after the current governor of NSW but was gazetted in 1885 as Junee in accordance with local usage.
		Junee is a railway town and the The Roundhouse Rail and Transport Museum, at the southern end of town, records the town's relationship with the railway.

	Freedom Ride at Junee Jail
		Junee is a railway town and the railway once employed a lot of local people.
		The Roundhouse, a locomotive service centre built in 1948, is now a museum and the grand railway station, once a NSW Government Railway regional administration centre, is empty except for tourism information and a pie shop café operating in its spacious dining room.
		Junee is 6 hours by road from Sydney and, once a major railhead, now it is in public transport limbo - the XPT comes in from Sydney at 1.30 pm and returns service departs 1.30 am.

		Junee has been in continuous turmoil, with prisoners suiciding rather than be transferred to Junee, away from their families and kids who have been able to visit them on a weekly basis.
		Junee is now largely a protection prison for prisoners who feel that they can't survive in the general population due to the offence for which they have been convicted.
		Junee is run as cheaply as possible and this is reflected in the low staff/prisoner ratio.

	E Law: Unsafe Work Practices Lead to Findings of Negligence
		The QCSC noted in its 1993 Annual Report (for the year ending June 30th 1993) that both Borallon and Arthur Gorrie were regularly audited to ensure that they provided 'correctional services in accordance with contractual arrangements.'[5] Despite this Justice Healy found unsafe work practices had existing at Arthur Gorrie during that period.
		Correctional officers were also required to use a glassed-in secured area known as a fishbowl from which officers could see the unit.
		He recognised that the role of a correctional officer was a 'high risk occupation involving work which is hazardous to mental and physical health in [a] highly volatile environment.'[21] He noted 'the defendant company was not obliged to devise a system of work which would be entirely risk free.

	Newsletter 15, March 1998 - People's Justice Alliance
		Federation of Community Legal centres threatens legal action against the Government and each private prison corporation for failure to uphold their duty of care owed to prisoners and failing to implement the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody by not removing obvious structural hanging points.
		The fact that the Port Phillip Prison and the Fulham Correctional Centre could be designed and built in blatant defiance of the recommendations into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody is another expression of the genocidal racism that is so entrenched in the Australian "criminal justice" system.
		This is also the case at the Metropolitan Womens' Correctional Centre and is the result of the "War on Drugs" this and previous governments have brutally waged within prisons where there is no room for harm minimisation practices such as needle exchanges, bleach, condoms, detoxification units and an expanded methadone program.

		Her husband “Patrick”, an inmate at Junee Correctional Centre, was recently transferred after serving the first 10 months of his sentence at the Long Bay Remand Centre.
		Even though Junee is situated in a region from which 2.5% of the state's prison population is drawn, it now accommodates some 10% of the NSW prison population.
		Privatisation of state correctional systems raises many other issues: the profits able to be appropriated from prison labour, the contracting out of prison services to local business and political interests (such as a local council member at Junee) and the use of local unemployed populations to fill non-unionised prison staff positions.
