A Canberra inmate awaiting trial said he feared for his safety after allegedly receiving targeted abuse from corrections officers, including being held down by six jail workers in handcuffs while having his clothes cut off him.
Guy Pearson Roberts, 42, also accused Alexander Maconochie Centre corrections officers of spraying him in the face with a fire extinguisher, withholding medicine and cancelling medical appointments.
Roberts has been charged with offences including aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, driving a stolen motor vehicle and unlawfully possessing a firearm.
