IN a six-month period, Aboriginal women at the Alexander Maconochie Centre (AMC) were more likely to be strip searched than non-Aboriginal women, according to information provided to the Melbourne-based Human Rights Legal Centre (HRLC). In the period from October 1 to April 30 there were 208, or one a day, on average, strip searches conducted on women. Of those 121 (58 per cent) were conducted on Aboriginal women despite the fact that during this period only 44 per cent of the women were Aboriginal.
Of the 208 strip searches only three 1.5 per cent resulted in staff of the prison finding contraband, meaning 98.5 per cent (205 women) of women were forcibly strip searched and found to have no contraband on them.
