A Perth man on remand is forced to spend more than two weeks in isolation and solitary confinement at Casuarina Prison, due to staffing issues and COVID-19 restrictions.
But he granted Ms Hudson's request for the surety to be reduced to $2,000, with a 7pm to 7am curfew, along with the requirement he not leave the state.
"There are endemic issues that permeate right through all of our jails and that stems from a cultural issue from the top," he said."Something needs to be done because quite frankly we have a system in chaos at the moment.The prison system has been affected by the labour force shortages affecting just about every sector in WA.Mr Collier said there were political realities surrounding issues in the sector.
In a statement, the spokesperson said that until February, the 10-day COVID-19 isolation period was mandatory in order to minimise infection and protect vulnerable prisoners."The government is committed to employing additional staff to fill current vacancies," the statement said.
