ACTCOSS welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Human Rights Audit of Conditions of Detention of Women at the Alexander Maconochie Centre (AMC).
Information from previous and current female detainees, and services who work with them, indicate that the needs and rights of female detainees in the AMC are not being met, primarily due to flaws in the original design of the buildings of the prison and the discrepancies of scale in program provision to small numbers of female detainees.
