In 2025, a prison attack at Bathurst Correctional Centre left one inmate seriously injured; Wesley Dates was sentenced for his role in the violent assault.
In February 2025, an inmate assault at Bathurst Correctional Centre left one man hospitalized with facial, chest, and abdominal injuries after being attacked by multiple inmates, including 21-year-old Wesley Dates, who was sentenced for his role.
The attack, captured on video, lasted about one minute and 10 seconds and involved Dates kneeing, kicking, and throwing a black plastic bin at the victim, who was cornered and shielding himself.
The victim sustained a nasal bridge fracture, a blowout fracture of the left eye socket, and internal injuries, requiring two days of hospitalization.
Dates, who had a history of trauma and substance abuse, admitted his actions were poor but claimed he was trying to help a friend.
Magistrate Gemma Slack-Smith acknowledged his remorse and personal struggles but emphasized the unprovoked violence, use of a weapon, and threat to prison safety, noting the seriousness of the offense despite the motive.
