An investigation is underway after a 16-year-old boy was found unresponsive in his cell in juvenile detention at Casuarina Prison in Perth overnight.
A 16-year-old boy is in critical condition after trying to take his own life at Western Australia's controversy-plagued specialist youth detention unit inside an adult prison.WA Premier Roger Cook said during routine checks about 2:00am on Wednesday, the boy was found unresponsive in his cell.
Mr Papalia said he did not want to go into more detail as the incident would be subject to an inquiry. Unit 18 had been due to close in the first half of this year, but after being appointed as Corrective Services Minister, Mr Papalia said in June there were no longer plans to close it.
