2560 - Prison healthcare as punishment — the killing of Veronica Nelson - Overland literary journal

Aboriginal woman Veronica Marie Nelson passed away on the floor of a prison cell on 2 January 2020, after days of crying out for help. Three years later, a Coroner found that if she had received the healthcare she needed, she would not have died. The underlying logic of the carceral system is that certain people must be made to suffer to keep the rest of the community safe. It’s a maddening lie which has been repeated so many times that we’ve forgotten there are other ways to address harm.
