Prison Officers Walk Off The Job After Brutal Inmate Attack

NSW prison officers ordered back to work after walkout sparked by brutal jail yard attack


9 News Australia 1 NOV 2025







Two of the four bashed officers will never work again


Thousands of prison officers have walked off the job after an inmate who brutally bashed four guards avoided extra jail time.


Officers at NSW prisons have been ordered to return to work after their walk off in protest of the sentence for an inmate who brutally assaulted multiple officers was deemed unlawful

The slap on the wrist punishment handed to an inmate who assaulted four prison officers sparked a 48 hour prison strike across the state.

This afternoon, the government lodged an urgent application to the Industrial Relations Commission to stop the action.

All of NSWs 36 prisons were in lockdown on Thursday night after 5000 prison officers walked off the job in disgust over a court decision that saw an inmate avoid additional jail time for a brutal attack on four guards.

The situation is being described as catastrophic, with some facilities now operating with just six staff members looking after hundreds of prisoners.

The industrial action was sparked by an unprovoked attack at Cessnock Correctional Centre that left four prison officers hospitalised with fractured eye sockets, cheekbones and broken noses. Two of the officers will never work again.

Inmate Cameron Welsh, 26, was handed a community based order by a magistrate and won?t serve any additional jail time for the bashing.









Welsh now remains at Goulburn Correctional Centre, the states most secure prison.
