WARNING: This story discusses incidents of self-harm and contains the name of an Indigenous person who has died.An inquiry into the death in custody of an Indigenous teenager at Perth's Casuarina Prison in October last year has cleared prison officers of serious misconduct, but identified significant failures that led to his death.

Sixteen year old Cleveland Dodd died eight days after self-harming in the youth wing of Perth's Casuarina Prison, the first child to die in custody in the State's recorded history. The Crime and Corruption Commission heard conditions at Unit 18 were "harrowing."
