Unrest: Borallon Training and Correctional Centre

Four cells have been damaged at Borallon Training and Correctional Centre overnight.

 Windows in the cells were smashed and a small fire was lit outside one of the cells and was quickly extinguished by officers.

 Two officers were taken to hospital overnight due to a suspected reaction to the chemicals in a fire extinguisher. Both were assessed and released from hospital.

 QCS management have praised the officers for their swift and professional response.

 QCS are committed to hold prisoners accountable for their behaviour and any damage they may cause while in custody.
