Prison officers at one of NSW's most dangerous maximum security western Sydney jails will strike for two days as they demand an improvement in safety conditions.
Officers from Parklea Correctional Centre in northwest Sydney will strike for 48 hours from Friday, saying they are receiving the lowest pay in the country in a jail with some of the worst assault records in the state.
Officers at the jail suffered the highest number of serious assaults in the state, and the number of assaults among inmates was the second highest in the last financial year, PSA assistant general secretary Troy Wright said.
