Alice Springs woman freed for violent beating because of ‘disgusting and inhumane’ prison conditions An Alice Springs woman convicted of a savage assault, in which a 16-year-old girl was beaten with a rock and stripped naked in a park, successfully leveraged the “inhumane” conditions of the Alice Springs and Darwin watchhouses to escape a prison sentence. Dinela Woods pleaded guilty to beating the victim along with a gang of others, stamping her legs and back, pulling her hair and punching her face in the 3am attack that left the girl in hospital with a collapsed lung after the gang of 11 chased her down the street.

NT Justice Judith Kelly branded the attack “a very serious offence” that was “above the mid-range of seriousness”, but still freed Woods because of her upbringing and the conditions she endured during a 21-day stint in custody. This was despite the maximum penalty for the crime being 14 years in prison. Full story:
