[ddj] Visualising the 'incidents' in Australian migrant detention centres

[Clare Blumer]

Hello All,

Here's a data project from *The Global Mail*'s data team in Sydney,
Australia.
*http://www.theglobalmail.org/blog/day-by-day-in-detention/635/* for
context.
*http://behindthewire.theglobalmail.org/* for the 'Behind the Wire' viz.

The Australian government imprisons asylum seekers or migrants who
have arrived by boat in detention centres for long periods of time. The
data team has done a fine job of focusing the audience on the stark reality
of the 'incidents' that happen behind the wire at these facilities. We're
very proud of the project and invite you to participate in 'flagging'
incidents, 'adopting' incidents and spreading the word worldwide of the
ongoing humanitarian crisis of refugee detention in Australia.

you prefer.
