	DARRYL HORACE GARLETT - SYNOPSIS
		Wooroloo District Hospital is situated approximately 200 metres from the building in which Garlett was accommodated in Wooroloo Prison Farm.
		The district Coroner concluded that he was not required under the terms of the Prisons Act to conduct an inquest into the death of Garlett because the death occurred in a hospital and not in a prison.
		The prison officer who accompanied Garlett to the hospital provided a report to the Superintendent of Wooroloo Prison Farm but inquiries were not pursued to the extent of speaking to the prisoners who were in Garlett's dormitory at the time prior to him being taken ill.

	Giz Watson MLC, Prisons Amendment Bill 1998, Second Reading Speech
		Prison officer Richard Judge was testifying at the coronial inquiry into the deaths of five inmates at Port Phillip, one of Victoria's three private jails, when he explained he didn't have any experience.
		Prison officers similarly to police; rely on direct force, amounting to a significant delegation of the state's "monopoly of legitimate use of force".
		An examination of the Prisons Act 1981 suggests that it would not be possible to manage a prison under the law as it presently stands with the use of personnel other than persons appointed pursuant to the Prisons Act and under the Public Sector Management Act 1994.

	Newsletter 16, January 1999 - People's Justice Alliance
		Prison officers interviewed by Amnesty International consider that the prison system is not equipped to address social and drug abuse problems which may be aggravated during imprisonment.
		Their concerns about deficiencies in officer training and prisoner medical care appear to be confirmed by the Ministry of Justice research, particularly with regard to drug abuse, the ability of prisoners to handle stress and the use of medical observation cells.
		The fact that prison officers have rarely been found responsible for a death in custody does not relieve the Government of its obligation to address factors known to the authorities that may well have contributed to the current increase in prisoner deaths, particularly suicides.

	A Day in the Life of ...
		I became a prison officer nearly three and a half years ago because in my previous work in juvenile justice at the Department of Justice, I could see the need for indigenous people to work with indigenous prisoners.
		Most of the prisoners there are close to their release back into the community and many already work on community projects during the day.

	Australia: Too many open questions: Stephen Wardle's death in police custody - Amnesty International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This prisoner witness was reportedly recorded by police to have been discharged from the lock-up some 20 minutes before they claim to have arrested Stephen Wardle outside the concert hall at 9.30pm.
		As a result, the issue of deaths in police and prison cells was very much a part of public and expert debate at the time of the investigations into his death.
		In the light of these interpretations it appears that Stephen Wardle may have been dead before police claim to have last observed him alive in his cell - even if their records of the time of arrest and reception at the cell block were correct.
