Labor Blasted for Restricting Prisoner Rights After Gangland Boss’s Court Victory The Victorian government's plan to restrict prisoners' right to fresh air is a disturbing trend that echoes a broader pattern of erosion of human rights in the justice system.
The proposed legislation would make access to open air time "subject to operational considerations," effectively denying prisoners their fundamental right to exercise and connect with the natural world.
Labor's justification for this move is laughable, given that even Iran provides its detainees with regular access to fresh air.
