The inadequate holding capacity ofBroome Prison has resulted in almost 70 per cent of the predominantly Aboriginal prisoners from the Kimberley being transported 'out of country' to southern prisons.' While a new prison is still years away from relieving overcrowding and the need for transportation, the charge of structural racism can still be levelled at the Department.
