Victoria's government says it is considering how to proceed after the Court of Appeal dismissed its legal challenge to a Supreme Court ruling that housing teenagers in a maximum-security adult prison was unlawful.
Earlier December, the Victorian Supreme Court found the state government had breached the teenagers' human rights by relocating them to Barwon Prison, and declared their placement there unlawful.
The detainees were transferred to the maximum-security adult jail outside Geelong from the Melbourne Youth Justice Centre in November when, the government says, riots caused considerable damage to the facility.
