Episode Details

Two Aboriginal individuals have died in Western Australian prisons, prompting urgent calls for a government review. The latest death was a forty-year-old woman found unresponsive in her bed, following a thirty-five-year-old womans death just weeks prior. This comes alongside a fifty-four-year-old mans death at a work camp. State data shows a rise in custody deaths, with eight this year alone. Advocates are pushing for a full probe into prison issues, better healthcare for prisoners, and federal law changes for better Medicare access. The Justice Minister has labeled the deaths tragedies and is considering old quarantine sites to ease overcrowding. These deaths highlight deep systemic cracks that demand real fixes now.
