Episode Details

Another heartbreaking death in custody at the Clarence Correctional Centre, where a 21-year-old Aboriginal man lost his life — sparking renewed outrage as Serco and police investigate amid a staggering 74 deaths in custody this year, 20 of them Indigenous. This follows last month’s coroner findings exposing critical failures in medical care, including delays and neglect of mental health and substance abuse needs — all at a facility plagued by staff shortages, under-resourcing, and the absence of an Aboriginal health worker despite its large Indigenous inmate population. Serco vows to improve wellbeing, but the tragedy underscores a systemic crisis demanding urgent action.
