A prison operator has been rapped over the knuckles for neglecting an inmate's blistered feet.
The feet deteriorated so much the prisoner was forced to clean them every morning with toilet paper.
Health authorities have today come down hard on the unnamed prison, which provided treatment slammed as "sub-optimal".
"Deputy health and disability commissioner Kevin Allan released a report finding the Serco-managed prison breached the code of health and disability services consumers' rights over its failure to treat a male prisoner's feat or administer prescribed medication."
Twice, the man was transferred from one jail to another so he could appear in court. Both times, instructions were passed on about treating the man's feet but there is no record that staff at the second prison acted on these.
