Number of Indigenous deaths in custody Australia between 2008 and 2021 by type

Between 2008 and April 2021 a total of 87 Indigenous Australians died in custody due to medical issues. Aboriginal and Torres Strait people are disproportionately represented at all levels of the justice system in Australia. Just under two percent of the population in Australia is identified as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, but around 20 percent of the deaths in prison and deaths in police custody were of Indigenous people.

自2008年至2021年4月，共87名原住民澳大利亚人在羁押期间因医疗问题去世。在澳大利亚的司法体系中，原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民在各个层级都呈现过度代表。尽管澳大利亚人口中仅有不到2%被认定为原住民或托雷斯海峡岛民，但监狱和警察羁押中的死亡人数中，原住民所占比例约为20%。
