MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Queensland government last year suspended the state’s Human Rights Act to allow the indefinite detention of children in adult police holding cells.
But conditions in the Cairns watch house have deteriorated in recent weeks, Guardian Australia understands, partly due to an influx of adults in custody.
“The juveniles have been extremely hard to deal with and disruptive to watch house staff all DEMANDING snacks and all kinds of items,” Taylor wrote in the email.
“Today alone over a two-hour period we had over 10 fresh arrests, with court running and having to also do fingerprints and release persons whilst also assisting external agencies.
“When in custody in Cairns, young people are visited by organisations and government agencies to ensure their welfare needs are met,” the statement said.
Guardian Australia understands the Cairns watch house is poorly equipped to accommodate large numbers of young people.
