Prison van death was not racism, says private firm

A private security firm has blamed two of its guards and denied inherent racism within the company for the heat related death of an Aboriginal elder in the back of a prison van in Western Australia. G4S, previously known as Global Solution Limited or GSL, was blamed by the West Australian coroner for the death of a 46-year-old man...who died of heat stress after a 360 kilometre journey in stifling conditions...G4S's director of public affairs, Tim Hall [said]...“GSL's procedures were not totally inadequate. Why this incident happened was because two officers disobeyed an instruction they were given to stop every two hours...We don't distinguish between the race or the colour of the people we carry”
