The campaign continues as we move to the next phase in 2010. The state government of Western Australia refuses to recognise it role and that of previous governments in the crisis currently facing our prison system. There continued inaction will result in an overcrowding of our prisons to dangerously high levels for inmates and prison workers.
The Deaths In Custody Watch Committee (WA) Inc is committed to the cause of Justice and Human rights for people when incarcerated and will be campaigning hard in the coming year for improved conditions for both prisoners and custodial staff.
"The DICWC (WA) Inc will continue to monitor and work to see the effective implementation of the 339 recommendations into the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody 1991"
