Victoria's youngest prisoners inside the Parkville Youth Justice Precinct are being regularly assaulted, hospitalised, and have tried to escape custody, according to documents obtained by the ABC.
The WorkSafe documents reveal a disturbing picture of life inside the facility with both young people and the staff who look after them falling victim to acts of violence – including being stabbed in the forehead with a makeshift weapon.
More than 700 pages of documents show that over a recent 18-month period, young people in custody regularly assaulted other detainees and staff, with many requiring hospitalisation.
