Correction
11 April 2001
Due to a sub-editing error, the sentence in the article “Refugee kept
eight months in solitary” by Ben Collins (GLW #443) read: “While the agreement
between the government and Australasian Correctional Management, which
runs the centre, specifies that a qualified medical officer should visit
detainees daily, the doctor at Maribyrnong only visits Dawood twice a week.”
It should have read: “While the agreement between the government and Australasian
Correctional Management, which runs the centre, specifies that a qualified
medical officer should make daily visits to detainees kept in solitary
confinement, the doctor at Maribyrnong only visits Dawood twice a week.”
