| Self-mutilation in Australia's detention centres is increasing with the number of recorded cases quadrupling in the past year and mental health experts bracing for worse to come as children begin cutting themselves.
Figures obtained by the Herald show 39 instances of ''actual self harm'' in the year to June 30, up from 10 the year before. Another 25 people have hurt themselves in the three months since.
The latest figures, supplied by the Immigration Department, stop at September 20, the day a Fijian man, Josefa Rauluni, leapt to his death at Villawood detention centre.
