Description

A scathing report from the New South Wales prison regulator reveals alarming conditions at Long Bay Correctional Complex in Sydney, with dilapidated facilities, vermin infestations, and unsafe environments for inmates, including those with special needs and mental health issues. The complex, which houses over a thousand prisoners, has been deemed unfit for purpose, with cramped cells, cracked walls, and even stray cats making their homes in mothballed wings. The New South Wales Opposition has proposed selling off the site for residential development, while the Department of Correctional Services has been contacted for comment.
