Australian immigration detention centres: every incident mapped. A vast dataset, which details every incident reported in each operational immigration detention facility in Australia between October 2009 and May 2011, shows the number of logged incidents - including self-harm, assaults, hunger strikes and damage as well as minor incidents - across much of Australia's immigration detention network.About Detention Logs"Detention Logs is a new independent project committed to transparency and accountability in Australia’s immigration detention network. We aim to support those reporting on and discussing these issues by breaking through misinformation and political spin.Immigration detention is one of the most hotly debated, contested and emotional topics in Australia, but journalists’ access to detention centres is limited and information from the inside is scarce. Public policy surrounding asylum seekers and immigration should be shaped by informed opinions, and our mission is to arm the public with those vital facts to raise the standard of discussion.We have a special focus on supporting journalists in understanding and accessing more information to help them investigate and report on immigration detention. We also produce our own original reporting and analysis of the data that we publish to help explain its significance and put the questions it raises to those accountable."More :http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/interactive/2013/jun/12/immigration-detention-centres-mapped-interactive&#160;&#160;
