The Royal Commission into New South Wales Prisons, also known as the Nagle Royal Commission, was established in 1976 to inquire into the management of prisons in the State of New South Wales, Australia. The commission was headed by Supreme Court Justice John Flood Nagle. Nagle's report, handed down in 1978, described "an inefficient Department administering antiquated and disgraceful gaols; untrained and sometimes ignorant prison officers, resentful, intransigent and incapable of performing their tasks."[1] The first of the Royal Commission's 252 recommendations was the dismissal of Corrective Services Commissioner Walter McGeechan[2] – though the Government sacked McGeechan three months before receiving Nagle's final report.[3]
