West Australian prisoners are being subjected to "cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment" because the government has allowed the state's prison system to become "almost functionally broken".
That is the stark conclusion of a report released today by the state's Inspector of Custodial Services, Eamon Ryan, who said the same factors which led to a major prison riot in 2018 exist across three prisons today.
It has prompted him to take the unprecedented step of issuing a show cause notice — effectively a demand for the government to explain itself — over conditions inside Hakea, Casuarina and Melaleuca prisons.
