Discipline measures after jail riots
Melbourne reports the Stats Cabinet backing guidelines for prisoner discipline at Pentridge Jail after a weekend of riots. Damages run into tens of thousands of dollars as inmates in E Division smashed windows, rigging, and trapdoors while police threatened teargas in a standoff with B Division prisoners. The incident delays the Pentridge inquiry and prompts plans for a new high security facility outside Melbourne to house violent inmates, with possible administrative changes at Pentridge.
