Today, the inquest resumes into the death in custody of Wiradjuri, Kookatha and Wirangu man Wayne Fella Morrison. We'll bring you updates from the court here on Kaurna yerta. #JusticeforFella
Here's where we are now (from @Sarah_Collard_): https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2021/04/26/what-happened-his-final-moments-morrison-family-call-answers-ahead-inquest

Fella's family want two things from this inquest —
That the officers with him in the van turn up to court and give them answers about his final moments;
The ban of spithoods and other harmful restraint practices.

Today's coverage might be a little different to the usual. South Australia is a bit more restrictive on live tweeting than other jurisdictions, with coverage on at least a fifteen minute delay. Keep an eye out for an @IndigenousXLtd story tonight. #JusticeForFella

For those in Adelaide here to support and observe #JusticeforFella, the inquest into Wayne Fella Morrison's death in custody is sitting in the SA Supreme Court, courtrooms 7 and 9.

The first witness is Michael Penn, a Correctional Officer at Yatala Labour Prison.

We are going through his movements on CCTV, line by line of description and shot by shot of footage. A current point of (sustained) contention is what day this footage is from (if it was the afternoon after Fella was put in the van) and who he spoke to.

We are adjourned to see if parties can reach consensus on the footage date.

We are back on the same two contentions. More details on these tonight.

Mr Penn has now been released, after providing evidence about how incident reports after Fella was put in the van were delayed from being uploaded 'until officers got legal advice'. In one exchange, Penn said he was 'being bullied' by the court process. More tonight.

Now hearing from Shirley Bell, another Correctional Officer from Yatala Labour Prison.

We've adjourned for lunch here.

Hearing now from Bell on intake at Yatala Prison. 'It's about the money.' she says about training, visits, calls, rostering, and administration. 'We're at a critical place in Yatala at the moment [...] people locked down for days and days' without calls, visits or fresh air.

Bell has finished her evidence. We'll now hear from Mr Darren Hills, another Correctional Officer at Yatala Labour Prison.

Hills is giving evidence about van design since Fella's death, changes to induction procedures since the SA Ombudsman issued their report ( https://www.ombudsman.sa.gov.au/publication-documents/investigation-reports/2020/Department-for-Correctional-Services-various-issues-before-and-after-the-death-of-a-prisoner-Mr-Wayne-Fella-Morrison.pdf), assessment procedures, privatisation of remand centres, and identifying Indigenous people. More tonight.

Hill is going over changes at Yatala since Fella's death —
No extra training on Indigenous intake
Officers no longer get in the back of the van
Only an overview of what a spit-hood is
No restraint training offered
First Aid training once every three years.

Question from the family's counsel to Hill: 'Did anyone in Corrective Services ever tell you that spit-hoods should never be put on anyone who is then put face down on the floor?'
Hill: 'No. You work it out for yourself over time.'

We're still getting evidence from Hill, now on staffing around admissions procedures.

Now moving on to restraint practices, Hill given hypothetical of Fella's circumstances in the back of the van — if he was supervisor that day, what would he do? 'I could say I may have done it differently. But everyone works differently and thinks differently.’

Counsel Assisting: 'If you were a supervisor, and you saw a prisoner put into the van like that [cuffed, legs tied, face down, hooded], the prisoner’s not going to be much risk?'
A: 'The most they could do is roll onto their side and try to kick you.'

A: 'But the risk is otherwise low. It’s minimal risk when your hands are cuffed, your legs are tied.’
Counsel Assisting: ‘And when you had a spitmask on.’
A: ‘Yeah.’

Hill is now released. Court adjourned until tomorrow morning. More tonight for @IndigenousXLtd.

Story coming tomorrow morning, you mob! Sorry for my delay.
