The Department of Justice (the Department) advises:
As Banksia Hill Detention Centre (Banksia) is the only juvenile facility in the state, management and dispersal options are limited.
If a detainee is identified to be a victim of an offence committed by another detainee (either in the community or in custody), then a Risk To/From alert is raised on the Departmental prisoner/detainee records management system and the unit placement and interaction of both detainees is managed to reduce risk of potential contact between the parties.
