A man is suing the Queensland Government for $750,000 in psychological damages. The man, now 23, was restrained in a spit mask as a teenager in the Brisbane Correctional Centre at Wacol.
He has filed a damages claim in the Districts Court of Brisbane against the state for alleged ‘cruel and degrading treatment’ over a five-month period.
A spokesperson for Queensland Corrective Services stated that because the matter was before the court it would not be appropriate to comment.
