Victorian Prisons Cut Fresh Air Rights | Sydney News

Victorian authorities are poised to slash prisoners’ right to fresh air, sparking outrage as the bill targets high-risk inmates like George Marrogi — a convicted drug kingpin who won a landmark Supreme Court case over his lack of outdoor access. Critics, including former detainee Kylie Moore-Gilbert, blast the move as a dangerous rollback of human rights, even comparing it to oppressive regimes. The government claims safety and operational needs justify the restrictions, but human rights advocates warn this could set a dangerous precedent, eroding dignity and mental health for all incarcerated people. With a looming vote and planned protests, this bill could redefine prison conditions — and Victoria’s commitment to justice — in a single legislative stroke.
