Last week two reports were released by the Office of the Ombudsman after the inspection of a Women’s prison in Christchurch and the Wellington Arohata prison.
The chief of the Ombudsman along with advocacy groups such as Amnesty International and Justspeak have come forward to criticise the treatment of prisoners and the cultural and leadership issues.
Poor treatment included, long lock up hours, lack of privacy in toilets and bathrooms and neglect in high security areas. Amnesty and Justspeak have also made a submission to the UN comittee against torture, to stop the use of spit hoods on young people.
Rawan spoke with Lisa Woods, from Amnesty international about the results of the recent reports and what needs to be done.
