Australian citizen Dan Duggan continues to be held in prolonged
solitary confinement at
Lithgow Correctional Centre, as the former US marine pilot has
spent the last 15 months initially at Silverwater and now a
regional maximum-security facility, as he awaits potential US
extradition.
Dan's wife, Saffrine Duggan
wrote letters petitioning prime minister Anthony Albanese and
attorney general Mark Dreyfus to return her husband to spend the
festive season with his six Australian children in home detention,
after he was unexpectedly swept away by the AFP in October
2022.
The Australian pilot had also written to Corrective Services NSW
about
home detention, only to be told that the department isn't
able to release him in such a manner, as he hasn't been charged
or sentenced with any crime under Australian law, so home detention
isn't an option.
