A 50-page Human Rights Watch report documented the isolation and mistreatment of prisoners with disabilities in South Australia, warning that solitary confinement can worsen their conditions and amount to torture. Based on interviews with more than 40 people, the report found that 12 of 14 prisoners with psychosocial disabilities said they had been placed in solitary confinement. One prisoner who uses a wheelchair spent eight days in 2020 without access to a suitable toilet or shower. Human Rights Watch called for a ban on solitary confinement for prisoners with disabilities, better mental health care and independent oversight, noting that Australia has not passed a national law prohibiting the practice despite a UN call to do so in 2022.
