Having regard to the conflicting views amongst SPS employees as to what constitutes bullying, and to remove any question of judgement in the recording of incidents of violence against prisoners other than the assailant’s cell mate, I recommend that SPS revise their cell sharing risk assessment to include as a marker “violence against another prisoner” (that as a category separate from the existing “violence against cell mate”).

Rather I recommend that SPS commence the review spoken to in evidence by Mr Breslin as soon as reasonably practicable (if they have not already done so); and give effect to the recommendations of that review as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
