Deaths while incarcerated 2022 to February 2024
Dear NT Correctional Services,
Are there any reports, available to the public, on the total deaths which have occurred since the start of 2022 - for all NT correctional facilities? Whether the death is from natural causes, suicide, violence ? Concerned family member of a current prisoner (held on remand) and looking closely at the current policies and procedures in place, which seem to lack diligence and accountability.
Yours faithfully,
Tenielle
