Everything about Baxter Immigration Reception And Processing Centre totally explained
Baxter Immigration Reception and Processing Centre or commonly just
Baxter Detention Centre, is an
Australian immigration detention facility near the town of
Port Augusta in
South Australia. It is the focus of much of the controversy concerning the
mandatory detention of
asylum seekers in Australia. It is located on part of the site of the
Australian Defence Force's El Alamein Army Barracks and became operational in September
2002. It closed in August 2007, some of the buildings removed, and the land returned to the Department of Defence.
Facility
The Centre was built by Thiess Constructions Proprietary Ltd, in partnership with
Australasian Correctional Management (ACM). ACM and Thiess were chosen by the
Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs. Australasian Correctional Management is responsible for the administration of the Centre.
The Centre has suffered several arsons by protesting detainees, the latest on
12 November 2005 causing extensive damage and forcing the evacuation of 58 detainees, of whom 4 were treated for smoke inhalation. Minister for Immigration,
Amanda Vanstone, said of the incident: "we don't expect however for people to resort to property damage as a way of handling that frustration and particularly property damage that can put the lives of others at risk."
