Blocked toilets force prisoners out of Brisbane women's jail

2 September 2008

A plumbing failure at Brisbane Women's Correctional Centre has forced all 289 inmates out of their cells which were flooded by overflowing toilets.

Sources said the entire jail at Wacol, in Brisbane's west, was affected and prisoners, sickened by the smell in their cells, were sleeping in common areas.
...

Another woman who visited a friend in prison on Saturday said women had been urinating in bags and scooping faeces from the toilet in cups.
