This Wednesday - Forum on Prison Privatisation in New Zealand

The recent events at Mt Eden Prison has generated a lot of debate and concern about the state of prisons in New Zealand. Prison privatisation has also drawn a lot of attention as result. This highlights the issues that exist within the current prison system and the importance for us to understand and carry on the discussion.
