'Inhumane': woman held in isolation for seven years, disability royal commission hears

Sight of woman's bare, blood-graffitied room is something that will be with me until the day I die', lawyer says

For seven years, Melanie was locked in a room with no natural light, often for more than 23 hours a day.

On the walls, she was said to have graffitied the room with her own blood" and two advocates who visited her and saw the conditions she was kept in say the experience will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
