Prison violence leaks into community
Labour's corrections spokesperson Kelvin Davis says more violence in prisons means more violence in the community.
The Te Tai Tokerau MP is calling for the resignation of Corrections Minister Peseta Sam Lotu Liga for failing to act on organised fight clubs which have emerged at Mount Eden Prison since private operator Servco took over management.
He says it's an extension of the campaign that led him to hikoi from west Auckland to Te Rerenga Wairua to raise awareness of sexual violence.
Kelvin Davis has accused Serco bosses of lying about their knowledge of violence at Mount Eden prison.
