Rau treated less then human.

We all know Cornelia Rau must have gone through hell, and treated less than human. The mentally ill Australian was locked in Baxter Detention Centre in a case of mistaken identity. She was locked in an isolation cell for the majority of her stay. Today it is now known that there were mirrors and cameras in her cell, allowing for Guards to see every nook and cranny, including the shower and toilet, not only was she deprived of her liberty, she was deprived of privacy and stimulation and this contributed to her illness. The sad thing about this, it took an Australian to be locked up in it's own hell whole for an inquiry to take place.
