The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

isn't the case for someone like Matt Wright.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

But the other reason you can be sent to a different part of the prison somewhere like the complex behavioural unit is for security reasons.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

And this was always a concern given Matt Wright is an extremely dangerous

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

high profile person, certainly, you know, not the kind of person that you generally expect to be in a prison population.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

And of course, that can lead to a whole host of vulnerabilities for that person.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

And so there's certainly security reasons as to why someone might be kept in that part of the prison.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

Exactly, Stockie.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

Yeah, we do understand that he did have air conditioning, which, to be honest, seems like a pretty basic thing to have given the kind of conditions that people are living in in the Northern Territory.

The Case Of

Also bearing in mind, Matt Wright was in prison during the wet season up here, and that is definitely the hottest, most uncomfortable part of the year for

The Case Of

for the NT.

The Case Of

So very hot, very sticky.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

And, you know, I mean, the ABC has done plenty of reporting about prison conditions in the Northern Territory.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

And I think it would be an extremely uncomfortable place to be, particularly over those hot summer months.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

Yeah, well, Stockie, not just attempt to pervert the course of justice, but really any offence that's punishable by prison would mean that Matt Wright would have to go back into custody and serve the remaining five months of his 10-month sentence.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

But actually, it's not just for the next five months that he has to be on good behaviour.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

Acting Justice Alan Blow, when he sentenced Matt Wright, actually gave him a two-year essentially good behaviour bond.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

So he now has to not commit

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

another offence punishable by imprisonment for the next two years.

The Case Of
14 Croc Wrangler | Matt Wright out of jail

Yeah, Stockie, I think that was his first comment that he made when he walked out of

The Case Of

the Northern Territory Supreme Court on the day of his guilty verdict.
