Prison staff across NSW walk off the job

Prison staff across New South Wales staged a walk-off in protest following the release of an inmate accused of a severe assault on a guard, sparking widespread concern over prison safety and staff morale. The move highlights growing tensions and fears within the prison system, which many argue have been exacerbated by recent policy changes and staffing shortages. This situation could have significant implications for prison management and the broader criminal justice system, as it raises questions about the balance between rehabilitation and public safety.
