Supplementary Information:
Out-of-cell hours over this period were impacted by critical incidents occurring in Unit 18, including damage and behavioural incidents by detainees.
Out-of-cell hours may also be impacted by detainee movements and arrangements made to facilitate social, official, and legal visits, court, and medical appearances. When there are instances of detainees testing positive to COVID this can also impact their out-of-cell hours to maintain appropriate isolation. Further, when a young person declines to exit their cell to engage in the day program, the time spent in cell is recorded as such.
