Calls for prison discipline overhaul amid increase in assaults on Corrections staff

The percentage of assaults caused by gang members or affiliates was 58 per cent in the most recent financial year.
Union boss Alan Whitely, president of the Corrections Association of New Zealand, said the Corrections Regulations 2005 legislation should be overhauled.
He blamed a “softer approach”, and said a lack of discipline in prisons was behind the increasing assaults.

Alan Whitely says a lack of discipline in prisons is to blame for the increasing assaults on guards.
