Denied the right painkillers, an Indigenous woman has killed herself in a Townsville prison

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 20/12/2011 - 7:15pm

A 37-year-old Indigenous woman has killed herself in a Townsville prison because she wasn't given the painkillers she needed for a tooth abscess and old injuries from a car accident.

The Queensland coroner found in an inquest that risk assessment of the woman failed to pick up her history of mental illness because it only looked at the previous six months.

The coroner says urgent changes are needed in prisons.

Report by the ABC.
