Something that I find interesting about this is how did they start the fires? How did they smash windows? Isn't the point of a prison to separate inmates and not allow them access to any equipment or tools which could potentially cause problems? It kind of calls into question the safeness of an institute like a prison. What really goes on behind those prison doors? I've never been to a prison, never known anyone sentenced to time in prison, never field-tripped it there with a school, so I don't really know what happens. But for me the idea of grouping a large number of people together who are known to be murderers, sexual predators, thieves and basically just criminals is a somewhat sketchy concept. Maybe if I knew more about the prison system in Australia or in any country, I would understand how this event was lead to happen.
Right now it just makes for interesting reading.
