No Massages At Detention Centre

Friday February 28, 2003
ILLEGAL immigrants were treated to free massages and other relaxation therapies at an immigration detention centre.
But Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock has since put a stop to the practice.
Details of relaxation therapies, including massages, were revealed yesterday in the Federal Government's response to a joint standing committee report from September 2000 titled ``Not the Hilton - Immigration Detention Centres: Inspections Report".
The committee recommended the practice of providing massages to detainees on a regular basis be discontinued.
