Inmates deprived of exposure to open air in prison won't be able to sue the state despite a notorious crime figure's legal victory over corrections authorities.
Under legislation introduced to Victorian parliament on Wednesday, no amount of money will be payable for any loss or damage caused by past limitations to a person's right to be in open air.
It comes after international crime boss George Marrogi won part of his Supreme Court case in January against Victoria's Department of Justice.
Marrogi, who is serving a 38-year prison sentence for murder and drug trafficking, argued his human rights had been breached over his limited access to open air.
Justice Claire Harris found some of the yards at the two prisons he had been housed in - the Melbourne Remand Centre and Barwon Prison - did not have open air.
