ACT Custodial Inspector: Pepper spray use on woman inappropriate | The Canberra Times

“Although the inspector identified no direct racist behaviour, the cumulative impact of policies, practices and key decisions contributed to the damage, including a ‘grossly disproportionate’ disciplinary action leading up to this incident, which included 28 days of isolation, denying the woman in custody access to culture and relatives at a time when she was experiencing mental health difficulties,” the report said.
