BREAKING: Victoria’s prison system is facing serious systemic corruption in both its private and public custodial systems, the state's anti-corruption agency has found.

, tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, said that staff in Victoria’s prisons had engaged in misconduct including excessive use of force and inappropriate strip-searching practices and, in the case of a prisoner with an intellectual disability, misuse of force.

The report said prison guards would unlawfully turn off their body-worn cameras during use-of-force incidents, and that guards had illegally accessed prisoner information. The report found that prisoners were grooming correctional staff to engage in corrupt activity, and that inmates tended to target prison guards who were socially isolated, lonely, or had a lack of support from colleagues.
