High risk Management unit

The High Risk Management Unit at Goulburn Correctional Centre in country NSW has been the subject of intense media interest. Opened in 2001, it was Australia's first supermax prison.

You can read more about the facility in:

• CCL's Addendum Shadow Report on Torture (September 2007) - conditions in the HRMU generally, including segregation and the treatment of the mentally ill.
• CCL's Shadow Report on Torture (July 2007) - the placement of terrorist suspects in the HRMU
• CCL's submission to the Inquiry into the Department of Corrective Services (2006) - calling for the HRMU to be closed and replaced by a more humane facility.
