		During the investigation of the death of a 19-year-old man at Parklea Correctional Centre (Sydney), the Coroner questioned whether the Prison Health Service comprehended the duty of care that they owe to inmates under their supervision, after medical staff failed to communicate ‘at risk’ information to corrections officers.

		This informant described an incident in a Sydney correctional centre where a woman in chronic pain had requested access to a doctor (who was supposed to be available on a 24-hour basis).

		The 2003 NSW Corrections Health Service (now Justice Health) Report on Mental Illness Among NSW Prisoners states that the 12 month prevalence of any psychiatric disorder in prison is 74%, compared to 22% in the general community, and while this includes substance disorder the high rate cannot be attributed to that alone.

		Though rehabilitation ought to be a primary consideration in treating detainees, the emphasis on rehabilitation should not outweigh the use of discipline in correcting negative and disrespectful behaviour.

	The Game: Restorative Community Supervision for Adult Offenders
		Grahame Chaseling, a 20-year veteran of corrections in New South Wales, Australia, critic of traditional criminal justice and restorative practices devotee for over 15 years, developed a unique model for supervising adult offenders in community-based programs.
		Now Chaseling is launching a pilot program at the works release center at Parklea Correctional Centre, preparing offenders for release back into the community.
		Traditionally, said Chaseling, “We only engage families when things are going wrong,” but he believes that when you engage families in the process before the offender is released, they buy into the plan and view the parole officer as an ally, not an adversary.

		Scientific research is not inerrant, but in the long run it is far superior to ideology, 'common sense' or subjective experience as a basis for sound public policy.
		The Australian Government argued, in defence of the treatment of a prisoner at Parklea Correctional Centre in 1999, that housing him in solitary confinement without a stitch of clothing, blankets or pillow and under 24-hour artificial lighting was an effort to prevent him harming himself.
		Common sense might suggest that removing means of inflicting harm will reduce harm, but one might equally conclude that such undignified, inhumane treatment could increase an inclination to self-harm.
