Hi all, Allegations of sexual abuse and child abuse at Woomera have been mentioned briefly on the media. The attached links will take you to media coverage of abuse of detainees/inmates in other facilites run by the parent company (Wackenhut Corporation) that runs Woomera. The local subsidiary is Australasian Correctional Management. If any of you know of anyone who has some information on what is happening up there can you get them to contact me either by email or on 041 8851 916. Journalists from the Age and the ABC are happy to do interviews without identifying the individuals concerned. http://www.finalcall.com/national/1999/juvenile4-20-99.htm Story from a Nation of Islam paper on child abuse in facilties. http://www.cbsnews.cbs.com/now/story/0,1597,193636-412,00.shtml Transcript of a CBS news story http://www.wcc-corrections.com/internationalscope.html A description of the company structure and other facilities http://www.afscme.org/acu/acu20005.htm Summary of the CBS story on what I think is a union site.
