THE private company running Port Phillip Prison, GSL Australia, has been fined almost $200,000 and four officers have been suspended over a practical joke that humiliated and hurt a vulnerable prisoner last year.
Known in prison circles as "Sausagegate", the incident involved the prisoner being coerced into hiding a package of supposed contraband inside his body and then being strip-searched by officers who were in on the "joke".
A scathing internal GSL report on the case, obtained by The Sunday Age, reveals that the prisoner rejected efforts to make him cover up the incident, which left him angry, humiliated and physically hurt.
